Life and work

[edit]

Signe Indahl-Voss performed at the Central Theater from 1909 to 1940. Her official debut was on December 19, 1909, in Vilhelm Dybwad's operetta Taterblod (Gypsy Blood), in which she played the role of Eldri after Bokken Lasson.[4] As early as 1908, however, she had appeared in the same venue in Veslefrik med Felen (Little Freddy and His Fiddle) by Harald Alfsen and Torolf Voss, in addition to performing several small roles, including a Spanish solo dance in Die Fledermaus by Johann Strauss Jr. A review of her performance in Die Fledermaus wrote that "The young lady has a lot of talent. She created great joy."[5]

In the summer of 1913, Indahl-Voss participated in the Norwegian Actors' Equity Association's Apekatten cabaret in the Christiania Tivoli amusement park. Late in her career she was also engaged with the Riksteatret.[6] She also appeared in the film Sankt Hans fest in 1947.[7]
