When I think about opera, I think about my favourite, Madame Butterfly. I think about the beauty of the Italian language and the emotion that opera, and its music, evokes within me.
What I don't think about is Anna Nicole Smith.
But apparently, Richard Thomas does! The creator of Jerry Springer: The Opera is working on another opera, this time about Anna Nicole and her now-notorious life - one that includes, among other things, addiction, failed attempts at love, tragedy, scandal and a shocking, untimely death.
Sounds like the kind of material that would make up a blockbuster episode of The E! True Hollywood Story, not an opera, although I gotta admit, I'm curious to see what an opera about Anna Nicole Smith would be like, not to mention who would play the lead.
