She loves great drama and strong stories, so she has always found Wagner’s powerful music particularly alluring. Marika Vapaavuori is fond of the ambiguous nature of the story of The Flying Dutchman, a seafarer who is condemned to roam the world, and of love that is powerful enough in its fidelity to break the curse.
