Things That Exist: Anna Nicole The Opera
Anna Nicole, the opera based on the rise and fall of TrimSpa Baby, opened at the Royal Opera House of London last night and it's getting mixed reviews. Some are calling it a "weirdly inspired work" while others are saying it's "overwhelmed by incident, and made the more congested by an over-rich libretto." But I'm calling it a work of COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT! The first few lyrics Anna Nicole hollers out in the clip above are the exact same ones I've been yodeling out at every bar I go to for years! And I'm also calling this work incomplete if it doesn't include arias sung by Sugar Pie, Kimmie, Bobby Trendy and Cousin Shelly.

"Larry says the opera is like "a sleazy tabloid."

so, it's probably a pretty good description of her life, right?

"I could listen to a babbling brook,
and hear a song that I could understand.
I keep wishing it could be that way.
Because my world would be a Wonderland."
It looks shit.

Holy shit. Let the woman rest in peace.
IDK I always had a soft spot for Anna...she seemed to have a good heart but grew up with toxic people around her. Sad life she led.

Oh my god, that is stupid.
I would not see this shit if you paid me.

suckandfuck, do us all a favor, and hang yourself. Oh, and your parents should be shot for raising a disgusting pig like yourself.
"We've never seen the House respond with applause like this!"
Really? At Covent Garden? Really, now. Sounded tepid to me.
Santa Maria that shit was dreadful and morbid. Her bio pic did not go anywhere...so I doubt an opera will be successful. But I hope they cut a check for Danielynn.

While she was alive, Anna was a walking joke, which I certainly laughed at. I dont know how I feel about an opera about her life especially knowing how the people she trusted the most, used her, kept her high on drugs and have now gotten off scott-free.
Yes she made some bad decisions in her life, but Howard K. Stern has left a bad taste in my mouth. He is essence kept her daughter hostage until Larry Birkhead agree to Stern being co-executor of Anna's estate to ensure he would get some money (if and when) her case against her rich old hubby's family was settled. I hope he burns in hell

Sounds difficult to sit through and listen to.
I see that Gerald Finley is in the cast as "the Lawyer Stern." He's a bone fide opera star - this is for real. I hope the show comes to the Lyric Opera in Chicago! (Half serious here.)
I don't know how I feel about any opera that actually has the line, "I want to blow you all... blow you all... a kiss! Mmmpwah! Mmmpwah!" And as I recall, didn't Anna Nicole have one of those squeaky baby-doll southern voices? Seems to me that darker mezzo-soprano voice the singer has is all wrong for that. Again, I don't know. If it was cheap, I might go for a laugh. Opera for the masses, I guess, is more soap than serious.
Dear God that looks awful...who decided this needed to be an opera (not that I think it would've been much better as a musical)?

I only watched that fuckery so i could hear the words MK sings in the bars. I laughed.

I read about this last night. One of the composers also did Jerry Springer: The Opera.
