== Biography and career ==
Jeanette Wässelius was born in Stockholm; her father worked as a tapestry manufacturer. She was accepted as a student at the Royal Swedish Opera in 1794 at the age of ten, and from this date active as a child actor in the plays directed by Anne Marie Milan Desguillons in Dramatens elevskola and in smaller roles at the main productions.
She was given a contract and appointed premier actress in 1800, after which she came to be considered one of the most promising within her field and as the successor of the prima donna Caroline Frederikke Müller. During the closure of the Opera in 1806, she was employed at the Royal Dramatic Theatre, which was no problem for her, as she was fully capable also as a dramatic actor in talking parts; she was said to unite a good singing voice with an equally good talent as an actor at the dramatic stage, and when the Opera was opened again in 1809, she took the place as the leading lady at the operatic stage, just as Carolina Kuhlman was the leading lady of the dramatic stage. She was appointed court singer in 1815 and elected as an associé to the Royal Swedish Academy of Music in 1817.
Wässelia retired in 1820 with a full royal pension from the state. Henriette Widerberg explains the circumstances of the retirement of Wässelia: in 1820, Wässelia was at the peak of her ability, and there was to have been no other grounds for her dismissal than an intrigue staged by actor and singer Edvard du Puy, with whom she was involved in a conflict and who was at the time prefekt of the opera stage - this statement also comes from Widerberg, who replaced her as the leading prima donna of the stage. Wässelia was never married. The sister of Wässelia, the ten years younger Justina Casagli, entered the theatre school ten years later and was to be famous in all Europe. She died in Stockholm.
