Louise Fribo (born 3 July 1970) is a Danish singer, actress and dancer.
Fribo, who studied the violin from age 4 and was trained as a classical dancer from age 7, made her motion picture debut as Lisa in the 1986 Danish feature film Barndommens gade (Childhood's Street) based on a novel by Tove Ditlevsen and directed by Palme d'Or winning director Astrid Henning-Jensen.[1]
Fribo attended from 1986 to 1989 the Bush Davies School of Theatre Arts in England and made subsequently her stage debut in Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical Cats at Operettenhaus Hamburg,[2] where she sang the part of Cinderella in Webber's Into the Woods in the 1990-91 season. Her Danish stage debut came in 1991 as Cosette in Les Misérables on Odense Teater.
Fribo graduated from the Royal Danish Opera Academy in 2003 as a coloratura soprano and had her German opera debut as Zerbinetta in Ariadne auf Naxos on Theater Lübeck in April 2004. Since then she has sung at several theaters in Europe - in 2006 she participated in the Salzburg Festival[3] - and in 2011 she will have her U.S. debut singing in the Michael Sturminger opera The Infernal Comedy alongside John Malkovich.[4]
