LA Times Critic Enjoys New Anna Nicole Opera
Mark Swed was lucky enough to have a seat at London’s Royal Opera House for Thursday’s world premiere of Anna Nicole. The idea of an opera about the LA icon debuting overseas seems oddly in sync with the late glam girl’s globe-trotting ways.
The program book, writes Swed, includes the essay “Two Millennia of Tragic Bimbos,” by a university English professor, and another treatise by a breast pathologist! Once the lights go down, the show runs with that boob-focused slant:
The opera is full of wisecracks, sexual references and four-letter words… Four under-developed women sing a lament for the breastless masses.
