The soprano talks about her new role as the Merry Widow.
The Lancashire born soprano, Amanda Roocroft, has had a dizzying opera career. Having received critical acclaim for her role in Cosi Fan Tutti, Amanda was strongly tipped in the 1990’s to be the next diva. However, at a critical point in her career she cancelled performances as Arabella scheduled for Covent Garden in 1996. She is now back on form, wowing audiences and critics alike with her performances as Jenůfa and Káťa Kabanová. Jenni talks to Amanda about her latest role - that of the Merry Widow with the English National Opera.
