Sofia Liljegren

In 1781, she was engaged at the choir of the Royal Swedish Opera in Stockholm.

In 1783, she was the replacement of Elisabeth Olin in the main part of Iphigénie en Aulide by Gluck, after which she was recommended to Gustav III of Sweden as a soloist.

She is often mentioned among the most notable names in the Swedish opera during the late 18th century.

Gustaf Löwenhielm, while referring to her as somewhat overestimated and not as good as Inga Åberg, does mention her as one of the few native talents in the period between the retirement of Elisabeth Olin in 1784 and the 1800 breakthrough of Jeanette Wässelius.
