Hi everyone!
I’m a composer and book writer, alum of the Royal Academy of Music with additional creative writing studies at a university. I’m excited to share a project that has been growing over the past few years and is now ready for its next step.
I’m developing a new original musical about a highly gifted 19th-century woman who, limited by her time and controlled by her father, was forced to publish her work under her brother’s name. With the support of her pioneering aunt, she finds the courage to claim her creative power and follow her own path — at great personal cost.
We’re now moving toward concert productions as the next phase at some venues. I’m looking to connect with: Producers and Directors interested in collaborating, as well as exploring other creative ways/formats.
If this sounds like something you’d like to discuss, I’d love to connect. Introductions, advice, or expressions of interest are all deeply appreciated.
Feel free to reach out if you’d like to know more or see excerpts from the script and music.
Thank you so much for reading!

Kristina Victoria Very interesting. Stage And Screen Innovations (stagescreen.org) is moving forward this year with developing its Virtual Theatrical program, and there may be some kind of synergy with what you do. Add me here and DM me, we can discuss what that is. At the least, it's a good chance to network.

Hi Kristina, this sounds like a powerful and timely story. The themes of creative ownership, suppression, and the cost of claiming one’s voice feel especially resonant, and framing it as a musical adds a beautiful emotional layer. Moving into concert productions sounds like a strong next step. Wishing you the right collaborators as the project finds its path forward, and I’d love to stay connected as it develops.
