LONDON (AP) -- The world premiere of Mark-Anthony Turnage's "Anna Nicole" will be presented by the Royal Opera next Feb. 17, starring Dutch soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek as the late model and Playboy playmate.

The Royal Opera says Covent Garden Music Director Antonio Pappano will conduct and Richard Jones will direct.

Turnage is the composer of "Greek" and the West End show "Jerry Springer: The Opera." The libretto is by Richard Thomas.

Smith died of an accidental drug overdose in 2007. She was 39.

She was Playboy's Playmate of the Year in 1993. She married 89-year-old J. Howard Marshall II the following year. After his death in 1995, she fought a protracted legal battle with his son over his estimated $500 million fortune.

If it makes money it'll be here soon.

In the mean time we get Jenny McCarthy going from the movies:

This image was taken to a new extreme in her film Dirty Love, which featured McCarthy's character sitting in a massive pool of her own menstrual blood

To talk show host in 2011...

I actually think she is quicker & warmer than Leno when unscripted.
 
Leave it to the Brits to come up with something like this!

They'd boo such crap here, even in Schenectady..:yum:
 
I may catch it when I'm in London at the beginning of May ... if it's still around. Just kidding, there's no way in hell that I'd pay to see a play about her, never mind an opera. :sad::sad::sad::sad:
 
Last thing I saw over there was the Reduced Shakespeare Company in the west end.
It was a hoot, with audience involvement.
Lasted over an hour with intermissions of wine and cheese.
They crammed most of Willie's works into a hilarious production.
 
Last thing I remember seeing was the pub abt half a mile from the airport. Most culturally significant thing to happen there.
 
Speaking of the night at the Shakespeare production:
One of the players came down off the stage with a skull in his hands, and made his way into the seats where Steve and I were sitting.
He shoved his microphone in my face and said "Hurry, finish the line, Alas poor.......
I said: Horlicks, I knew you well.
My 5 minutes of fame at the Criterion.:smile:

I didn't know what else to say, but knew if I finished the classic line from Hamlet that it wouldn't go over well since this was a comedic thing.:yum:
Yorick came to mind, then Horlick(s).. it all when to hell after that, but the audience roared and may have been thinking I was just as nuts as the play.
Steve was in stitches, I sat there with a red face looking around and sinking down in my seat.

Ahh yes, Horlicks! It's ok, I prefer Glenfiddich to promote sleep. :D
