La troupe du Roi de Suede

La troupe du Roi de Suede, or Roi de Suede for short, was a French-speaking Swedish court theater, active at the Royal Swedish court from 1699 until 1706.

The company performed both spoken drama, opera and ballet, and was regarded to have upheld a high quality.

The queen dowager would not allow the troupe to perform at court after the king had left to serve in the war.

They also arranged public masquerades with card gambling at Bollhuset, which evidently became popular, though also ill reputed.

On at least one occasion, at Thorn in 1703, the troupe, or a part of it, traveled to perform for Charles XII during his war service.
