Clara Ursin
Appearance
Clara Ursin (1828 - 1890), was a Norwegian (originally Danish) stage actress and opera singer. She was active at the Christiania Theatre in Oslo in 1849-76. She was married to the Norwegian musician Fredrik Ursin.
While described as a mediocre actor, Ursin was regarded as the best female singer of the theatre for many years and one of the reasons that the theatre (long the only theatre in Norway) was occasionally able to offer opera performances.
It was said of Ursin that she:
- "... did not obtain any high rank as an actress, but was for many years the best female singer of the theatre and performed significant lyric roles within opera as well as operetta."[1]
