David Fukamachi Regnfors has participated in a total of 14 productions at Dramaten. Right now, he is current in "Heritage" by Matthew Lopez and soon in "The Dads" by Alexandra Pascalidou.

In the motivation, he is praised for his "nervous, controlled, precise, sensitive, anxious and empathetic" role interpretations.

Johanna Rudström is a well-known mezzo-soprano for the Opera's audience. This spring, she is current as the Beggar Woman in the musical "Sweeney Todd" and in the role of Rosina in "The Barber of Seville".

"Her radiant stage presence is as prominent as her rich voice. She embodies the joy of singing and acting on stage", reads part of the motivation.

The scholarships from Gunn Wållgren's memorial fund are jointly awarded by the Royal Dramatic Theatre, the Royal Opera, and the Royal Academy of Music.
