Thank you for visiting this private page, created to share materials related to I Undid Orion's Belt – a mythological and psychological rock opera inspired by Greek tragedy, rebirth, and the timeless tension between love and control.
I'm Michaela Foster Marsh – a musician, author, and founder of Starchild Charity. Throughout my creative career, I've released three albums, authored memoir and fiction, performed internationally (including two private concerts for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II), and led award-winning humanitarian work in Uganda.
But I Undid Orion's Belt is the project closest to my heart.
Originally conceived as an album over 25 years ago, I Undid Orion's Belt has since evolved into a full libretto and immersive stage concept. It has been praised for its poetic vision, emotional depth and mythic scale.
I recently spent time in Greece collaborating with composer and producer Panos Topalidis and the extraordinary cosmic vocalist Gennady Tkachenko-Papizh. Together, we created a unique two-song demo showcase that captures the artistic vision and emotional landscape of the project.
The collaboration is continuing remotely as we move into the next phase of development.
To hear these tracks, please send me a message: michaela@michaelaonline.com
On this page you'll find: the libretto, musical samples, the pitch deck, treatment and synopsis, and contact details.
Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you would like any of the materials sent by email or would like to discuss the project further.
Michaela Foster Marsh is a Scottish singer, author, and founder of the Starchild Charity. Her work spans music, literature, theatre, and trauma healing. Known for turning silence into song and grief into art, her memoir Starchild was praised for its rare honesty and emotional clarity.
Her creative practice often emerges from personal sorrow — including the loss of her beloved adopted brother Frankie, both parents, close friends, and her life partner, actor Rony Bridges. Through this depth of loss, Michaela has forged a body of work that speaks of healing, resilience, and the quiet power of creative redemption.
If this project resonates with you — whether you're a producer, artistic director, venue programmer, or potential collaborator — I would be honoured to connect.
Whether you envision Orion in an ancient Greek amphitheatre, a modern festival setting, or a cinematic adaptation, I'm open to all conversations about where this myth might rise and breathe.
