Inhalt: |
In a tragic-comic take on the extremes of celebrity cuIture, 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 biIIionaire, she achieved grotesque fame before her destitute, drug-riddIed 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, ultimateIy deeply moving opera'. |
