Charlotta Almlöf

Anna Maria Franziska "Charlotta" Almlöf (née Ficker; June 16, 1813 – November 11, 1882) was a Swedish stage actress.

[1] Charlotta Almlöf was the elder daughter of Christian Fredrik Ficker, a musician at the Kungliga Hovkapellet, and Johanna Charlotta Widerberg, and the sister of the opera singer Mathilda Gelhaar.

Almlöf was described as beautiful and graceful and became popular in the role of coquettish girls and flirtatious ladies within the fashionable genre of French salon comedies, and to some extent seen as the successor of Charlotta Eriksson.

In 1843, she was given a salary of 1333 riksdaler, which made her to a member of the elite of the theater staff.

[1] She was, however, never as popular with the critics, who often referred to her as pretty, decorative and graceful but much too mannered, artificial and shallow and considered her to be highly overestimated by the audience.
