Early and personal life

[edit | edit source]

Esther Edler was born on 18 October 1884 in Glemmen to ship owner and captain Jacob Edler Sørensen and Gerhardine Teresie Terjesen.[1] She was married to actor Peter Sigurth (1881–1949) and was also known as Ester Sigurdt Abrahamsen.[2][3]

Career

[edit | edit source]

Edler joined the Centralteatret in Christiania for the 1905–1906 season,[4] where she made her debut as Suzanne in Thérèse Raquin by Émile Zola on 17 April 1905. The production was criticised however Edler's performance was praised.[5] A month later, she played a firm but nosy maid in Bissons & Mars' farce Skilsmissens overraskelser on 27 May 1905.[6] Edler also played Lully in Fjeldeventyret at the theatre.[4]

The following season, Edler went on tour with Dore Lavik, where she played Gerd in Henrik Ibsen's Brand.[7][8] She also appeared in a leading role in Jomfru Trofast by Vilhelm Krag in September 1906 and the play Lynggaard & Co. by Hjalmar Bergstrøm during the tour.[9][10][11] In November 1907, she played Ms. Lohse in Klokkerne.[12] On 24 January 1908, she played Mrs Wolf in Amalie Skram's Agnete.[13] A month later, Edler again had a role in Brand but this time as Agnes, a role in which she was lauded, with one newspaper stating that her performance was the best in the production.[14]

Edler died on 22 October 1908 in Christiania, at the age of 24.[2][3]
