Anna Nicole, the new opera by composer Mark-Anthony Turnage and librettist Richard Thomas which enjoyed a sell-out premiere run at The Royal Opera in London, is now available on DVD and Blu-Ray from Opus Arte.
In a tragic-comic take on the extremes of celebrity culture, the new opera sees Anna Nicole Smith joining opera’s gallery of bad, sad girls. A pneumatic Playboy model who married an octogenarian billionaire, she achieved grotesque fame before her destitute, drugriddled 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, ultimately deeply moving opera”.
"...It's a tremendous show...shocking it isn't; stunning it is!"
