Ludvig Josephson

Ludvig Oskar Josephson (20 February 1832—29 January 1899) was a Swedish dramatist, actor and theatre manager.

In 1858, at the Mindre Teatern, he performed the title role in Narziss, a play based on Rameau's Nephew, by the German playwright Albert Emil Brachvogel [de].

He left Stockholm from 1873 to 1877 to lead the Christiania Theatre in Norway, where he introduced operatic productions.

The following year, he and the actor, Victor Holmquist [sv], purchased it and produced plays there until 1890, including the premiere of Master Olof by August Strindberg.

They presented many other recent foreign and domestic plays, as well as the classics, comic operas and operettas.
