April 11, 2008 · Print This Article
Los Angeles (CMR) -The early death of Playboy model Anna Nicole Smithhas inspired a new operatic production.
Bang Media reports that Smith’s life story will be told through an opera at London’s Royal Opera House.
Mark-Anthony Turnage is creating a score which Richard Thomas is scripting words for.
Smith’s turbulent life hit its peak in September 2006 when she gave birth to baby Danielynn.
A few days later her son Daniel died of a drug overdose. Five months thereafter, the model also passed away from a drug overdose.
Thomas explains that the story will end there—“For me, it ends when she does.
It’s an American story. I love American culture. Especially for opera, the stories seem to work on grander, more epic scale.”
