For One Night Only – An Evening with Amanda Roocroft

For One Night OnlyFans 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.
