Enjoyed by children and adults, Zoe's Musical Fairy Tale, Upon A Time has been compared to Phantom of the Opera, Secret Garden, Into the Woods and Grimm's Fairy Tales.

"Take flight into the mystical land of Zoe and the inner child in you will be blanketed like only a classic fairy tale can do." - Get Fancy Magazine.

Original story, music, lyrics, arrangements written and composed by Zoe Vandermeer.

'Any fan of enchanting contemporary opera will certainly fall pleasantly victim to the genius found here. Award winning Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama graduate Zoe Vandermeer is the operatic master of dreamy, fairy tale magic and majestic muses that drift from deep and dark to colorful and enchanting. Like the warmth of a fire on a stormy winter night, Zoe's Musical Fairy Tale, Upon A Time has been compared to the great Phantom of the Opera, and rightfully so. Intense and chilling opera meets pop rock, with Classical, Baroque and even Renaissance threads woven throughout.' - Get Fancy Magazine

'Following the opera on NPR, I played "Zoe's Musical Fairy Tae' in its entirety. It was a nice holiday reprieve and I was happy to have an opportunity to get Zoe out there.' - Jenn B., radio host/KGPR, Montana 'I was stunned...great compositions and a heavenly voice that gave me goose bumps. Zoe's great talent is excellent - something of the ultimate perfection.' - Johnnie Zwaan, Miracle Band, Holland

'Zoe is so interesting that we named a character on our Just Plain Folks T-shirts after her (see Harpist). Her operatic CD is both shocking and exciting. Shifting from intensity to tranquility and back, it is truly innovative and unique. Think Sweeney Todd with 10x the intensity. Though I have no visuals to go with the music, I got a feel for the entire show, and I bet it is a kick to see live. There are 3D foley effects to move the musical segments along and clearly a great deal of thought and creative expertise went into putting this together.' - Brian Austin Whitney, Just Plan Folks International Singer/Songwriter Organization

'Upon A Time" is just exquisite. A major theatrical and film production should be made of it.' - Walter Hogue, San Mateo Convention Center, California

'Here is a quick note from The Netherlands to let you know that I love your music. I came across your music while I was on vacation in America.' - Maarten Avontuur, Holland

'Using her operatic vocal skills to the max in a narrative almost Dickens-like dramatic storyline, I found myself playing tracks over and over again to discover beautiful images floating over Mozart-ian, English Renaissance type music. A mother comforts her son with a bedtime story about undying love, is the basic theme, but the intensity of the telling might keep one awake for the next twenty years!' - Mountain Streams Gazette
