Mathilda Grabow

Mathilda Grabow (23 May 1852 - 29 May 1940), was a Swedish opera singer (soprano). She was a court singer (Hovsångare) (1886) and a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Music (1895) and was given Litteris et Artibus (1895).

She was a student of Fredrika Stenhammar and Viardot and active at the Royal Swedish Opera in Stockholm in 1870-71 and 1877-86, and at the Opera Palais Garnier in Paris in 1872-76. She was described as a very versatile artist and considered as one of the greatest stars within Swedish opera in the late 19th-century. She retired in 1886 and was thereafter only active as a concert singer, except in 1891, when she performed in the last performance in the old building of the Stockholm opera, before the Royal Swedish Opera was moved to a new building.

She married the captain count C. E. Taube in 1886.
