Swedish soprano, opera and concert singer, born February 18, 1956.

She is educated at the Stockholm Academy of Music. She made her debut in 1985 in Pergolesi's Il maestro di musica, at Drottningholmsteatern. She has appeared on many different stages and in many different contexts; oratorios, opera, romances and chamber music. After many years of involvement at the Staatsoper in Hamburg, she has visited stages such as Theater Basel, Tyrolean Landesteater in Innsbruck, Opéra du Rhin in Strasbourg, Opéra National in Montpellier and more. At home in Sweden, she has been seen in opera contexts at Drottningholmsteatern and the Royal Opera in Stockholm, but above all at the Folkoperan, where she has performed in several major roles over the past two decades.

The opera roles include Elisabetta in Don Carlos, Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni, Countess Almaviva in Figaro's Wedding and Despina in Così fan tutte, Wellgunde in Rhenguldet and Sivan in Jeppe by Sven-David Sandström. She did the title role in Marie Antoinette by Daniel Börtz at the premiere at the Folkoperan in 1998.
