No matter what we thought about Anna Nicole Smith or the choices she made in her life, one thing is sure–she was always entertaining. The world’s obsession with Anna Nicole was unhealthy, constantly waiting for her to do or say something…we couldn’t keep our eyes off the voluptuous beauty. Her life was a tragic comedy and now even in death she will continue to entertain.
Coming to the Royal Opera House in 2011 is The Anna Nicole Smith Opera. According to Elaine Padmore, director of opera at Covent Garden, “It is going to be witty, clever, thoughtful, and sad.”
There’s no doubt that Anna’s life had enough drama to fill a book or movie, but an opera is definitely an odd approach. According to the Royal Opera House, “It is perfect fare for transformation into a piece of lyric theatre, a grand musical and dramatic parable for our times.”
The opera house hopes to appeal to a broader audience with their Anna Nicole show. Despite their insistence that it is possible for the production to not be trashy, just like Anna’s life, this seems to have disaster written all over it.
