For One Night Only – An Evening with Amanda Roocroft
Fans
of the Olivier award winning opera singer Amanda Roocroft will certainly enjoy
this unique CD which was recorded in the small Cambridgeshire village of
Bluntisham. This one off special evening in aid of the Bluntisham Baptist
Church Renewal Project brought out the real Amanda who sang as delightfully as
ever and who shared her own amusing view on the world of opera. Amanda said “This night made me realise why God had given me a talent for
singing and it was so wonderful to be amongst friends”.
The recording offers a rare opportunity to hear one of our
most exciting opera singers in a relaxed mood and in a more intimate
environment, in contrast to the major theatres where she normally performs.
Amanda was accompanied by the renowned pianist Stephen
Maughan who also joined in the fun and there are also guest appearances from the
Bluntisham Barbers Shop Quartet made up of members of the Church.
The CD contains arias from Faust to Tchaikovsky plus songs
from the musicals such as West Side story and My Fair Lady together with
snippets from behind the scenes. Perfect for anyone who
appreciates great music – with a smile.
