In 1777, as a result of negotiations by Swedish diplomat Count Löwenhjelm, Naumann was appointed to reform the Stockholm Hovkapell and help King Gustavus III in his opera plans. His work in Sweden led to the 1782 production of his opera Cora och Alonzo at the inauguration of the new opera house in Stockholm, and the 1786 production of Gustaf Wasa, based on an idea of the king for a Royal Swedish Opera. After a period as guest composer in Copenhagen (1785-56), he returned to Dresden, where he became Oberkapellmeister. In 1792, Naumann married Catarina von Grodtschilling, daughter of a Danish vice-admiral.
