Opera singer Mari Eriksmoen knew Märtha Louise a little through mutual friends. Märtha Louise called her and asked her to sing at the wedding.
Not many people know that Durek's aunt was one of America's biggest opera stars. She passed away in 2010. Mari says Shirley Verrett was one of the greatest opera singers of all time. She thinks it's great that they wanted opera at the wedding.
- I sang when Märtha walked in, where you usually have the bridal march. They wanted opera there. I sang two songs during the wedding together with my friend, opera singer Victoria Randem. We were guests during the dinner and sang a number during the dinner mostly for fun, as a pop-up.
She found the tone with the Swedish royal house.
- Victoria and Daniel were absolutely fantastic. They were genuinely interested in classical music and asked a lot. They had a clue and were very pleasant. They were really good people.
Mari Eriksmoen fra Ski reiser verden rundt med stemmen sin. Det var stas å synge i bryllup i Geiranger. Men aller mest stas blir det å komme hjem til Rådhusteatret hvor det hele startet.
