Synopsis:
The Royal Opera commission from composer Mark-Anthony Turnage, librettist Richard Thomas and director Richard Jones adds Anna Nicole Smith to opera's 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 and corruption. With its jazz coloured score and Eva-Maria Westbroek's starry performance, this tragicomic take on the extremes on celebrity culture is, as the New York Times said, 'an engrossing, outrageous, entertaining and ultimately deeply moving opera'.
