Most people are not aware of the fact that Kirsten Flagstad actually lived in Melbu for several months as a young woman. She was engaged to be married to Gunnar Frederiksen, the son of a wealthy family in Melbu. However her mother-in-law to be, the carismatic Maren Frederiksen, recognized Kirsten’s vocal talent and enabled her to travel to Stockholm and study voice. The rest is history.
