Maria Charlotta "Charlotte" Norberg also known as Charlotte Törner (27 December 1824 in Stockholm – 25 February 1892 in Stockholm) was a Swedish Ballerina and ballet teacher. She was a star of the Royal Swedish Ballet in the mid 19th-century.
In 1846–47, she made a study trip to take lessons by August Bournonville in the Royal Danish Ballet in Copenhagen. Upon her return to Stockholm in 1847, she was appointed premier dancer (ballerina), a position she kept for the duration of her career. During the mid 19th-century, Charlotte Norberg belonged to the stars of the Royal Swedish Ballet and "during the late 1840s and the entire 1850s, she was very celebrated within the art of dance among the Stockholm audience."[1] She was regarded as a prominent representative of the Bournonville School and, alongside Johanna Sundberg, was often requested by August Bournonville during his guest performances in Stockholm.[2] Charlotte Norberg also gave lessons and instructed her own students in the Bournonville technique.
Charlotta Norberg retired after her performance in Pesten i Albano by August Bournonville on 30 November 1859, "after which she retired from active service of the theater, much to soon in the unanimous view of all theater interested people of Stockholm. During her service as a Premier Dancer, she successfully managed many difficult choreographic tasks with great acclaim and was always seen at stage with great pleasure. One of the most prestigious students of the Bournonville school, she always followed the strict traditions of the school at her own performances as well as in the instruction of the pupils she schooled."[3]
In 1853, she married Gustaf Fredrik Törner (1821-1898), a clerk at the Royal Opera.
