Amanda Windred

“Amanda Windred was luminous as Helen with an easy warmth on stage and a powerful dramatic soprano voice. She carried the burden of being the protagonist and so-called ‘fat pig’ of the title with absolute grace and star power.”

Fat Pig

Stella Joseph-Jarecki - Fever Pitch Magazine

"Soprano Amanda Windred is a delight as Helen... Her rich voice brings tenderness and depth to the character's vulnerability and her performance conveys a heartfelt honesty that easily draws the audience deep into Helen's world... Windred handles it with impressive strength and nuance."

"As Mrs Grose, Amanda Windred served the story suitably with a matriarchal air and a splendidly robust soprano to match."

Australian Arts Review

"Amanda Windred gave a vocally and dramatically satisfying performance, conveying the warmth of a basically nurturing character. There were moments of great natural beauty in her strong soprano voice."

Heather Leviston - Classic Melbourne

“The ensemble cast was uniformly excellent. Standouts include Amanda Windred, who was clearly having so much fun with Vava that the whole room couldn’t help but join in."

David Meadows - Opera Gazette

"Brilliant from beginning to end. Payne was supported with excellence by Amanda Windred as Mrs. Grose. They all more than deserved the long-standing ovation that crowned their work."
