Description
In a tragic-comic take on the extremes of celebrity culture, composer Mark Anthony Turnage, librettist Richard Thomas and director Richard Jones add Anna Nicole Smith to opera's gallery of bad, sad girls. A pneumatic Playboy model who married an octogenarian billionaire, she achieved grotesque fame before her destitute, drugriddled death. With its jazz-coloured score and Eva-Maria Westbroek's starry performance, this is, as the New York Times said:an engrossing outrageous, entertaining and, ultimately deeply moving opera".\...It's a tremendous show...shocking it isn't; stunning it is!"The Independent""
Description
Flamboyant and foul-mouthed, Anna Nicole makes a provocative addition to opera's chronicles of bad, sad girls. Anna Nicole Smith, the Playboy model who married an octogenarian billionaire, became a grotesque star of reality TV before dying, destitute and drug-riddled, at the age of just 39. After the work's 2011 premiere at the Royal Opera House, the New York Times hailedan engrossing, outrageous, entertaining and, ultimately deeply moving opera ... an improbable triumph for Covent Garden".\...It's a tremendous show...shocking it isn't; stunning it is!"The Independent""
