Anna Nicole Smith, The Opera!

wenn11138942.jpg

Leave it to the Brits to make an opera about the life of Anna Nicole Smith.

The great masterpiece-in-the-making is set to premiere at the Covent Garden Opera in 2011.

The director of the opera, Elaine Padmore, said "It is not going to be a horrible, sleazy evening. It is not going to be tawdry; it is going to be witty, clever, thoughtful and sad. In broad outline, it will tell the story of her life, the people who influenced her, her progress. Clearly the story is about a woman who met an ancient gentleman in a wheelchair, but it's not going to be a straight narrative; choices have been made about significant moments, selecting which incidents in her life are to be built up."

Anna Nicole Smith, witty????

That's a first!

The opera will be directed by Richard Jones and the libretto will be provided by Richard Thomas, who was also the co-creator of Jerry Springer the Opera.

Padmore added, "It is not just a documentary about her, but a parable about celebrity and what it does to people. It can be moving, it can be funny and it tells universal truths about human frailty."

Does anyone out there really want to waste their money to see Anna Nicole's life as an opera?

      Re: Snuggies keep me snug and happy – I got it! We make Snuggies out of Shamwows then get Billy Mays and Vince the shamwow guy to fight to the death while wearing them! How much blood do you think one that size will soak up?

      Anna Nicole Smith was unbearable. Opera still is. This can't be good for society.



    21. 21

      I didn't even waste my off days watching her dumb ass when her t.v. show was on. Why would I waste my money on tickets to the stage version? That's a sick idea……

      Re: mama of 2 – but is that a bad thing these days?
      Donkey= good time right



    23. 23

      anyway to make money I suppose……she was weird…..that TV show she had was….different……
      She was just another whore in a drug induced coma that got much more attention then she deserved for her death……



    24. 24

      the majority of us have never heard of her



    25. 25

      Re: mama of 2 – Donkey = very good time!



    26. 26

      I'd watch the movie, but an opera? Hello no!



    27. 27

      No! Not only did she ruin her own life with drugs, sex, and humiliation,…She also embarassed and humiliated and ruined her poor sons life by her public and pathetic behavior. Thank goodness Danilynn is with her father, Larry Birkhart!



    28. 28

      How much more does this woman have to be exploited?

      Re: guilty of being white
      Hey, you forgot to mention that her first son died (drug related death) next to his Mom in the hospital room right after she had her second baby , and Anna Nicole not knowing who the father of her second baby was. Several guys claimed paternity after her death, and the court ordered paternity test established that the father was Larry Birkhead.

      Re: Amazing Grace – YOU ARE A FUCKING JOKE AND TRANSPARENT AS HELL! GET A LIFE, AREN'T LIKE 40 SOMETHING! GET HOBBY OR SOMETHING!

      Re: eyeinthesky – I was going to say the same thing… Sad……..



    35. 35

      They made an excellent opera about Richard Nixon, so why not about Anna Nicole?



    36. 36

      Slap a wig on Perez and tape his saggy boobs up - this role is perfect for him! Similar communication skills but Perez IS a bit on the homely side…

      Re: LettyB
      I have many hobbies and a great life, and I definitely don't need your advice.



    38. 38

      Can't these assholes let her rest in peace?



    39. 39

      As an opera singer, I am more sad than I can say. What is happening to the world?



    40. 40

      I'm sad she's gone :(



    41. 41

      This woman is soooo overrated! She was never that special and all she did was getting all fucked up! This sounds like a very shitty opera…



    42. 42

      This woman is soooo overrated! She was never that special and all she did was getting all fucked up! This sounds like a very shitty opera…-

      And perez says : "Leave it to the Brits to make an opera about the life of Anna Nicole Smith."
      So americans do the most-fucked retarded things, but brits 'make an opera'
      WTF is wrong with that statement. I'm not even going to continue mocking that.
