About Signe Indahl

Lived 1889 – 1965 (aged 76). Signe Indahl was a Norwegian stage actor, dancer and singer.

Signe Elvira Indahl-Voss (née Indahl, June 14, 1889 – November 10, 1965) was a Norwegian actress, singer, and dancer. She appeared in productions at Oslo's Central Theater for several decades.

Family Signe Indahl-Voss was the daughter of the police constable, postal worker, and brewery worker Marthinius Indahl and Christiane Bjerke. In 1921 she married the conductor and composer Torolf Voss. 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."

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. She also appeared in the film Sankt Hans fest in 1947.
