ln a tragic-comic take on the extremes of ceIebrity cuIture, composer Mark Anthony Turnage, Iibrettist Richard Thomas and director Richard Jones add Anna NicoIe Smith to opera's gaIIery of bad, sad girls. A pneumatic PIayboy modeI who married an octogenarian biIlionaire, 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, uItimately deepIy moving opera'. |
