Älskar hur alla som rebloggar bamsetrillingarna-pollen lämnar kommentarer om hur de växte upp med dem, hur de är deras vänner, ”de känner deras pappa”.

För såklart är de fiktionella men vi KÄNNER DEM. DE ÄR VÅRA VÄNNER. Bamsetrillingarna och deras klasskamrater representerade oss läsare som lärde oss om världen. Även om bamse, lille skutt och Skalman var huvudkaraktärerna så relaterade vi så mycket till barnens problem och vi kände oss sedda. Om inte av bamsetrillingarna så DEFINITIVT av en av deras klasskamrater (minns att många kunde relatera till Burre och hans problem hemma)

Jag minns att jag började trean samtidigt som jag läste hur bamsetrillingarna började trean på sin skola och jag kände att de verkligen växte MED MIG.

Jag undrar vad som hänt om de fick växa ännu mer och bli vuxna ibland. Förstås skulle det nog kanske inte vara så appealing att prata om tonårsproblem i en serietidning för barn, men man undrar just hur de skulle bli som vuxna.

Samt skulle det vara kul att se Brumma börja skolan. Minns hur Skalman diskuterade hur hon skulle få börja på en annan skola än de andra barnen, och det hade kunnat vara intressant att se en skola för barn med olika diagnoser och speciella behov. Bamse om nån tidning skulle kunna göra en bra och informativ serie om det.

Canucks' Elias Pettersson Hosts EP40 Skills Camp In Sweden

Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson held a youth hockey camp called the EP40 Skills Camp in his native Sweden to give back to his community. The camp took place from July 5th to 8th.

“Mainly, I want to give back to Ånge; all the money goes to them," Pettersson said in an interview with local media outlet Sundsvalls tidning. "But then I want to offer kids to come here and teach them. Things that we teach here are things that I have practiced every summer.”

"There are many who look good, I think," Pettersson said. "Everyone eats and everyone listens. It's the first time I get to act as a coach if you can call it that. I thought it would be hard, but I think it's been great fun."

Crown Princess Victoria's house on Värmdö is finished

Large windows facing the sea, a sunny dock and a heated pool in the garden. Villa Fågelbro is now ready for two future Swedish queens. The Crown Princess family has already spent a weekend in their private paradise on Värmdö.

The house is beautifully nestled in greenery on a small hill. Large oaks and birches form a natural privacy screen. The leaves rustle invitingly from the crowns, and the smell of forest and freshly cut lawn is lovely.

A stone's throw away is Fågelbro Golf & Country Club, but hardly any golfers on the course notice the 2.5-meter-high fence surrounding Victoria and Daniel's lot.

Here, it is intended that Crown Princess Victoria and her family will be able to be completely private and free from prying eyes. When they want to experience archipelago life, barefoot days, and a cup of morning coffee on the front porch, the house in Värmdö is their focal point.

The family has stayed overnight in the house

Victoria and Daniel bought the property in 2020 and own it together. They paid 18 million SEK and received a building permit and beach protection dispensation from Värmdö municipality in the spring of 2021. Nacka Värmdö Posten was the first to report.

There used to be an older house from the 1930s on the plot. It has been demolished, and in its place, a modern and airy home has been built with large windows facing the sea and four-meter-high ceilings.

The Margen Wigow architectural office designed the buildings, the same office that developed the Crown Princess couple's house, Villa Skönvik, on Solliden in 2013. The facade is painted with iron vitriol, which will turn grey over time. The new home has been named Villa Fågelbro.

In December 2023, the house was finally inspected, and the family got the OK to move in, but it is only now that they have tried to live there. The Crown Princess family spent a weekend in the house, according to information given to Aftonbladet. But it is something the Royal Court does not want to comment on.

- They live at Haga Palace and spend the summer in [Villa Skönvik on the grounds of Solliden Palace on] Öland. This is their private residence, which the Royal Court does not comment on. But the Crown Princess Couple looks forward to using the house during the year on holidays and weekends, says Margareta Thorgren.

Prince Daniel called and thanked

The interior is said to be Scandinavian and bright. Wilzén's carpentry in Tranås has delivered oak-wood kitchens, around 50 wardrobes, dressing rooms, and interior doors.

- Prince Daniel actually called last week and thanked us for our work. He is very committed, and all questions go through him, so the work goes a little slower than I am used to, said Christer Wilzén to Tranås Tidning two years ago.

He told the newspaper that security is high and that [the security police] is involved. Wilzén has been made to sign papers to keep specific information secret.

Special solutions on the property's land and water sides also ensure safety. At the gate, large signs from the Royal Courts and the County Administrative Board greet the curious. The property is a protected object that may neither be entered nor photographed.

There is room for both bodyguards and guests. At the gates stands a small house with large windows facing the gates that provide a good view of entry and exit. Two future queens should be able to feel completely safe here.

Royal friends as neighbours

The neighbours in the area also value security, and signs from large security companies are on every other gate. Behind one of the neighbours' fences runs a high-wire fence that "invisibly" deters people from trying to cross onto private land.

Business leaders, board professionals, billionaires, and royal friends live here. The HM family owns several properties a drive away on idyllic forest roads. Crown Princess Victoria is close friends with HM Board Chairman Karl-Johan Persson and his wife Leonie, who was in the same high school class as the Crown Princess. The Persson family has been involved in the Crown Princess and Prince Daniel's house building and helped the couple with applications and advice.

Financier and billionaire Robert Andreen, who founded Nordic Capital in the 1980s, also lives nearby. His daughter, the fashion profile Emilia de Poret, and sons Linus and Ludwig also have houses on the property. Linus Andreen is married to the Crown Princess's close friend Märta Schörling Andreen, the heiress of the financier Melker Schörling, who, until his death, was one of Sweden's wealthiest people and was close to the King and Queen.

HM heir Nils "Nisse" Tham and his wife Félice Jankell also have a summer house in the area. Nils Tham is one of Sweden's youngest billionaires and is the son of HM's primary owner, Lottie Tham. According to Expressen, the house was bought for 55 million SEK in 2016, and several millions have been spent on renovations and extensions.

Solar panels on the roof

Not all the groundwork is finished yet, and there is still some work to be done with the various houses on the plot, but most of it is finished. Crown Princess Victoria is very interested in environmental issues; of course, the house has solar panels on the roof. Saving energy and taking the climate crisis seriously permeate the entire Royal Family's attitude.

The Royal Court does not comment on this because it concerns the Crown Princess Couple's private residence. But regarding sustainability issues, we can say that these are constantly relevant for the Royal Family and also in the construction of this private residence, says Margareta Thorgren.

The King had solar panels installed at the Royal Palace as early as 2018, a larger solar cell facility he received as a gift from SFV when he turned 70. Plans are now being made for more solar cells on the Palace's roof.

According to information given to Aftonbladet, Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel will also landscape the garden to promote biodiversity and attract pollinators such as bees and other insects.

Crown Princess Victoria and her family are enjoying their summer vacation at Solliden. On Sunday, she turns 47 and celebrates per tradition with a procession through Borgholm and the Victoria concert in the evening. But when the summer ends, the house on Värmdö will become the family's "leisure oasis" on the weekends.

Here we see a picture of Swedish mezzo-soprano Kerstin Thorborg (1896-1970) as Magdalene in Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg by R. Wagner. Salzburg 1936. 

Kerstin Thorborg was a court singer. She celebrated her greatest triumphs in Wagner’s contralto roles at the Metropolitan Opera in New York and prior to that in Buenos Aires, at the German Opera in Prague and in pre-Nazi Germany and Austria.

Kerstin Thorborg was born in 1896 in the village of Siknäs in Venjan, in a musical home. Her brother Olof often sang during his training as a physician as did their father Viktor Thorborg, who had sung first bass in the male choir Orphei Drängar in Uppsala before becoming a newspaperman and editorial secretary at Södra Dalarnas Tidning. Their mother Hildur, n��e Boman, and brother Klas were even more important to Kerstin Thorborg since they encouraged and supported her economically.

After passing her school certificate, Kerstin Thorborg took lessons for the voice pedagogue Ina Wickström in 1914–1916 in Växjö. After that followed studies with the voice pedagogue and voice physician Gillis Bratt, who was her teacher in 1917–1919, after which one of his assistants, Karin von Rosen, took charge of Kerstin Thorborg’s voice training until 1923. After a successful audition at the Kungliga Teatern Opera School (now Operahögskolan in Stockholm) she started her professional training.

After small roles in Wagner’s Die Walküre and Verdi’s Rigoletto, she made the first of her three obligatory debuts in 1923: as Lola in Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana, a role that disappeared out of her repertoire after three performances. On the other hand, she enjoyed some of her greatest successes in the future in Berlin, Vienna and New York with her other two debut roles: Ortrud in Wagner’s Lohengrin in 1924 and Amneris in Verdi’s Aida in 1925.

In the autumn of 1925, Kerstin Thorborg got to know Gustaf Bergman who became very important to her. He had been the director at the Stora teatern in Gothenburg, from which he was fetched by the Stockholm Opera director John Forsell after having produced Die Fledermaus by Johann Strauss the younger. He was to be responsible for the Stockholm production of the same work. After that, he was appointed as stage manager at the Kungliga Teatern. It was at the Stockholm Opera that Kerstin Thorborg — probably with the help of Gustaf Bergman — learned practically her entire future repertoire with five exceptions: Eudossia in Ottorino Respighi’s La Fiamma, the dryad in Ariadne auf Naxos, Clytemnestra in Electra, Octavian in Der Rosenkavalier and Herodias in Salome, the four last-named operas by Richard Strauss.

In 1925, Kerstin Thorborg signed her first contract with the Kungliga Teatern, the first of several that were often renegotiated so that her annual income rose from 3,000 kronor to 16,000 kronor. When her final Stockholm contract expired in 1931, she had appeared in 341 performances of altogether 38 productions, among which were lesser roles in Swedish operas.

Kerstin Thorborg signed her first foreign contract with the Nürnberg Opera in 1930. After that she appeared mainly in the German-speaking opera houses: Deutsches Landestheater in Prague, Stadt-Theater in Nürnberg, Städtische Oper in Berlin, Wiener Staatsoper and the Salzburg Festival as well as the German seasons at Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires and the Metropolitan Opera in New York. At Covent Garden in London she sang only Wagner and Richard Strauss every spring in 1936–1939.

In 1928, Kerstin Thorborg and Gustaf Bergman were married in the church in her home town Hedemora in the central Swedish province of Dalarna. With that she was to share her sixteen-year-older husband’s economic problems with paying maintenance after two divorces. However, from 1931 onwards, she earned so well that she was able to end her contract with the Städtische Oper in Berlin in 1934 on account of her dissatisfaction with the Nazis and as a protest against Hitler. She did the same thing with the Vienna Opera a few days before the Anschluss.

In 1935, the Canadian tenor Edward Johnson took over as the director of the Metropolitan Opera. With his Norwegian roots, he favoured Scandinavian singers like Kirsten Flagstad and Lauritz Melchior and soon also Kerstin Thorborg, who made her debut in New York in 1936. During her first season in 1936/1937, she sang five Wagner roles at 15 performances. At her 24 performances in the season of 1937/1938, both her new Richard Strauss roles, Clytemnestra in Elektra and Octavian in Der Rosenkavalier attracted general admiration but disappeared immediately out of the repertoire. The season of 1938/1939 included 52 performances and only one new role – that of Orpheus in Gluck’s opera Orpheus and Eurydice.

During her visit to Europe in 1939, she appeared in four concerts with Arturo Toscanini: in Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis on two May evenings in London and in Verdi’s Requiem with Jussi Björling at her side on two August evenings in Lucerne. Despite the war, her duty demanded that she sang Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde with Martin Öhman on four October evenings in Holland.

In October 1939, Kerstin Thorborg and Gustaf Bergman travelled by ship from Oslo to the USA and did not return to Dalarna until the end of May 1946. In between lay 67 months in America and 254 performances with mainly Wagner on the programmes.

During the couple’s home journey after the war in 1946, Kerstin Thorborg’s fiftieth birthday was celebrated onboard in company with two other returning Swedish Metropolitan stars: the tenors Jussi Björling and Torsten Ralf with their respective wives. In October the same year, Kerstin Thorborg and her husband returned to New York. Four performances at the Opera in Chicago were her first appearances, but nothing was fixed with the Metropolitan, despite the fact that Kerstin Thorborg had for several years been accustomed to participating in more than 30 performances per year there.

When M/S Gripsholm arrived in Gothenburg early in January 1947 with the couple who were already returning home, the journalists wondered why they were back so soon. The couple blamed Kerstin Thorborg’s Dutch tour and the fact that Gustaf Bergman’s memoirs must be completed. They did not yet know that the director of the Metropolitan, Edward Johnson, had for a long time dreamt of engaging Hjördis Schymberg who was already on her way there. For the couple, 1947 was an involuntary sabbatical year. Not until January 1948 did Kerstin Thorborg sing again at the Metropolitan, but only in five Wagner roles during a period of ten weeks. The following year, her contribution was reduced to fourteen appearances in four Wagner roles but as encouragement also six Richard Strauss evenings. Edward Johnson left the Metropolitan in 1950 and Kerstin Thorborg had to be satisfied with six appearances at the beginning of that year. With four evenings singing Verdi and Saint-Saëns in Stockholm in the autumn of the same year, Kerstin Thorborg ended her career.

After her husband’s death in 1952, Kerstin Thorborg isolated herself and socialised mainly with her nine cats. In 1963, Falu-Kuriren’s music journalist Seth Karlsson was given the assignment of interviewing her, which led to an exhibition at the Dalarna Museum, that also received two of her stage costumes. Seth Karlsson was appointed as sole trustee after Kerstin Thorborg’s death in 1970, to take charge of her musical estate. In it were many private film recordings, all her scores and recordings on HMV in 1928, Odeon in 1928–1931, Columbia in 1936 and RCA Victor in 1940, as well as 25 live recordings of her performances at the Metropolitan Opera in 1937–1949.

Kerstin Thorborg is buried in Hedemora Cemetery.
