An Anna Nicole Smith Opera is in the works in Britain

The Royal Opera Company of Britain is working on an Anna Nicole Smith opera, which will be based on her life and death.

The show will be written by British composer Mark-Anthony Turnage, and the libretto will be composed by Richard Thomas, who was the co-creator of Jerry Springer: The Opera.  And although I am having trouble wrapping my brain around the idea of an Anna Nicole Smith opera, those involved say that it won’t be as bad as it sounds:

“It is not going to be a horrible, sleazy evening,” Elaine Padmore, Covent Garden’s director of opera said.

“It is not going to be tawdry – it is going to be witty, clever, thoughtful and sad.”

Anna Nicole Smith was a model who is best known for marrying a wealthy man who was 63 years older than her, and later become embroiled in a brutal fight for her inheritance after his death. She later went on to have her own self-titled reality show, The Anna Nicole Smith Show.

Her 20 year old son passed away in her hospital room three days after the birth of her daughter, and tragically she suddenly lost her life months later.
