The story of Anna Nicole Smith, the model who married a billionaire 63 years her senior and died of an overdose aged 39 amid a media frenzy, has been adapted by Richard Thomas, no stranger to pushing boundaries and tackling celebrity culture, having created the infamous Jerry Springer: The Opera.
Acclaimed Dutch soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek who plays the tragic reality TV star thinks that Anna Nicole is perfect operatic material.

Anna Nicole is at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London, WC2 (020 7304 4000, roh.org.uk), 17 Feb to 4 March.
