Aalberg was born in
Leppäkoski,
Janakkala. She was a member of the Theatre of Finland from 1874 to 1883 and later a regular visiting actress. She also performed on foreign scenes, in Scandinavia, Germany, Hungary and Russia among others. Although she never managed a breakthrough in a foreign language she remained respected and highly popular in Finland, even when spending much, or nearly all of her time abroad. Aalberg's first marriage was to a well-known Finnish nationalist from 1887 until his death in 1893, and the second in 1894 to Baron from St Petersburg, who was a lawyer and philosopher and later became an influential person in the Finnish theatre scene. == Legacy ==
