Opera by Mark-Anthony Turnage & Richard Thomas The Royal Opera commission from composer Mark-Anthony Turnage, librettist Richard Thomas & director Richard Jones adds Anna Nicole Smith to operas gallery of tragic women. A pneumatic Playboy model who married an octogenarian billionaire, she flirted with global fame before falling fatally prey to its allure & corruption. With its jazz-coloured score & Eva-Maria Westbroeks starry performance, this tragicomic take on the extremes of celebrity culture is, as the New York Times said, an engrossing outrageous, entertaining & ultimately deeply moving opera. Aufnahme Recorded at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, 26 February 2011 Libretto by Richard Thomas Musik Royal Opera Chorus Conductor: Antonio Pappano Darsteller Anna Nicole
