Recording

For Nova, completing her debut CD, Once Upon a Dream, was indeed a dream come true!

She had been trying to make the album over a five year period. However, finally in 2001, the opportunity presented itself whilst Nova was performing in Cats in Stuttgart, working with the Musical Director, Ralph Abelein.

Once Upon a Dream hit the shelves in the Summer of 2002, including Tower Records, Piccadilly and HMV, Oxford Street. Its principal supplier continues to be: Dress Circle.
