Fanny’s Forgotten Music is Based on a True Story about a Young Woman with a Talent for Music
LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / September 8, 2016 / Judit Benedek, a director based in Stockholm, Sweden, is pleased to announce the launch of Fanny's Forgotten Music project, a new musical about a young woman named Fanny Mendelssohn.
To learn more about the musical, which will be performed at Theatre Pero in Stockholm this fall, please visit http://goo.gl/EszGBb.
As a spokesperson for Fanny's Forgotten Music project noted, the musical is based on a true story about Fanny Mendelssohn, a young woman who lived in 19th century Berlin. Fanny, who has an inherent gift for music, has dreamed of being a pianist and composer, but is prohibited from doing so by both her father Abraham and the social expectations of the times.
"Fanny finally gets a chance to release her music to the world, but only through letting her brother Felix, an equally talented musician, claim it as his," noted the spokesperson, adding that Felix eventually feels free to use his sister's musical works as his own.
"The musical has all new modern music written in a variety of popular styles. There are also snippets of Mendelssohn music that recur in recitative and in transitions in and between scenes."
Currently, a team called The Workable Group is working on giving the story life, on stage, at an industry showcase at Stockholm's Theatre Pero in October.
According to director Benedek, the musical has the potential to become a definite hit.
"We are now arranging an industry showcase in October at Theatre Pero, Stockholm with some of the finest musical theatre actors," the spokesperson said, adding that the show has caught interest from several theatre companies and an industry showcase could be the start for an opening of this musical.
In order to help pay for the performance of Fanny's Forgotten Music at Theatre de Ville in Stockholm, Benedek and The Workable Group recently launched a fundraiser on Indiegogo. They hope to raise $6,500 through crowdfunding to help bring Fanny's Forgotten Music to the world.
