Kongelige kammersangere

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kongelige kammersangere or The Royal Chamber Singer is a prestigious title given to Danish Opera singers by the monarch. Only about 50 people have received the award since it was started in 1700. The first non-native Danish person who was appointed as a royal chamber singer was the Italian Giuseppe Siboni, who in 1819 received Danish citizenship and became director of the Royal Theatre.
