Inhalt: |
ln a tragic-comic take on the extremes of ceIebrity cuIture, composer Mark Anthony Turnage, librettist Richard Thomas and director Richard Jones add Anna Nicole Smith to opera's gaIlery of bad, sad girls. A pneumatic Playboy model who married an octogenarian biIIionaire, she achieved grotesque fame before her destitute, drug-riddled 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, uItimateIy deepIy moving opera'. |
