Wendla Åberg

Wendla Åberg (1791-1864), was a Swedish stage actress and ballet dancer.

She was engaged at the Comediehuset in Gothenburg in 1812–16, and then at its successor stage of Segerlindska teatern in 1816–23; first under Johan Anton Lindqvist and (from 1820) under Gustaf Åbergsson.

As such she provided dance when ballet was offered by the theatre, and highly respected for this art.

She was equally popular as an actor, and considered to be one of the three most distinguished women of the Swedeish provincial theatre of her time: ... one can say that our stage has never, at least not for quite some time, possessed such skillfull actresses as Mrs Åbergsson and the mamsell's Haglund and Åberg;[1]In 1823, the Gothenburg Theatre was dissolved as a permanent stage and Åberg was engaged at the theatre company of Carl Wildner.

Wendla Åberg discontinued her stage career in 1825, and settled in Gothenburg with her mother, where she became a dance instructor.
