She is all set to fly to Prague to record her debut album, according to reports in the media.

She will start rehearsing a series of showtunes that will appear on the album this week and will fly to Prague next month in order to lay down tracks accompanied by the Czech National Symphony Orchestra.

Dusan Mihaly, the orchestra’s manager, said: “I am excited, happy, my dreams are being fulfilled.

“All of Prague will welcome her and what we want most is to have a performance with her in public.

“Sony BMG, Susan’s record label, liked our sound and so wanted Susan to record with us. The album will have a big Broadway sound with a 70-member orchestra behind it.”

The same orchestra were used on Britain’s Got Talent’s 2007 winner Paul Potts new album Passione.

It is thought that other projects that will involve Susan Boyle include a film of her life story, and a biography.
