Soprano, actress and producer Amy Manford has delighted audiences young and old with her gorgeous voice and magnetic stage presence. Audiences will recall her highly acclaimed run as Christine Daaé in The Phantom of the Opera at the Sydney Opera House and Melbourne Arts Centre, having already played the role in the West End. She’s performed with Andrea Bocelli and for the British Royal Family. She’s also quite the arts entrepreneur, having co-founded MM Creative Productions. Their production, Disney in Concert, is back by popular demand, returning to the Sydney Opera House and the Melbourne Arts Centre in March.
Amy spent her early childhood not as a singer, but as a gymnast, until a knee injury changed her trajectory. Her natural talents took her to the Royal College of Music in London, and she hasn't looked back since. Amy shares the challenges and opportunities of running a production company, and being part of one of the world's most famous entertainment brands. She introduces some of her own recordings, including one of her own compositions.
