Later Life
In 1795, Marcadet became involved in a conflict with the direction at the royal theaters (meaning borth the opera and the theatre) and joined the Stenborg theatre, were she made her farewell-performance in November before she left Sweden with her husband and moved to Paris in France, where she died. She is one of many examples of the French actors and singers, who made themselves a career in Sweden during the 18th century, when Swedish theatre and opera was more or less entirely French.
In the 19th century, the Swedish press pointed out the irony in the fact that three of the most popular singers, who were a part of the "first generation" of performers in the two national stages Royal Dramatic Theatre and Royal Swedish Opera, was in fact foreigners; the German Franziska Stading, the Polish Sophie Stebnowska (grandmother of Marie Taglioni), and the French Marie Louise Marcadet.
