Anna Nicole Smith will become the latest operatic heroine to meet a tragic end at the Royal Opera House in London. The musical version of her life story opens there on February 17, 2011.

The production has been co-written by Richard Thomas. He is one of the creators of the controversial Jerry Springer: The Opera. Also co-written by Mark-Anthony Turnage, a well known British composer.

Take a sneak peak at the Jerry Springer: The Opera and see for yourself the direction it will probably go in:

Anna Nicole will be played by the Dutch soprano Eva-Maria Westbroek. The life of Anna Nicole will be up front & personal for all to see, not that it is not already.

This new opera is part of the Royal Opera House’s commitment to produce a new opera for its main stage every two years.

Critics said the involvement of Thomas meant that it was likely to be an “off the wall” production.

Last month, April 2010, the appeals court officials in Los Angeles turned down a request to reconsider their decision not to award ANNA NICOLE SMITH money from her late husband’s, J. Marshall Howard’s estate. The ruling was that Dannielynn Birkhead (now 3 1/2 yrs. old) is not entitled to oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall’s money ($1.6 billion estate).

Marshall willed his estate to his son, E. Pierce Marshall, which launched a ferocious legal battle over the family fortune. Lawyers have kept the fire going even after Pierce Marshall’s death in 2006 and Anna’s death in 2007. It is still continuing, although losing steam quickly.

Anna had always maintained that her late husband promised her the money during their 14-month marriage, which ended with the 89 yr. old’s death in 1995 from natural causes.

The lawyers filed papers at the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in California requesting the judges reverse the ruling or they will take the case to the U.S. Supreme Court.

On a personal note I truly believe that this lawsuit was the demise of Anna. It was the one motivating factor for all parties concerned in the roller coaster life she led. It picked up speed & ended with a huge crash. I believe that had she not had this potential money looming over her head and as a dangling carrot in front of unscrupulous lawyers, etc., she would have led a much different life.

She had the means to earn a fantastic living and she didn’t need that money (as grand as it might have been to have). It became her “mission”, undauntingly she pursued it with every ounce of her energy and she got blindsided by it. Just my opinion you understand, but one I share with millions.

I went surfing on Youtube to find some good video of Anna. I ran across this video which actually has quite a bit of footage of her and Larry Birkhead. She is with Howard as well at the 2nd half of this, but upon watching it I get a sense of what was going on.

I love the music in this. It starts with J. Howard Marshall II, Anna’s 2nd husband. Then moves into Larry with most pics with Howard actually in the background. I didn’t catch that at first. I think Larry was more a part of Anna’s life then I had previously believed.

In the pictures of Howard & Anna, at least in this one video, I don’t get the overwhelming sense of love. It just seems like a friendly relationship. The mock wedding in The Bahamas, Anna obviously was “not all there.” It was just for show and nothing more. She looked like she was made to do it, not into it at all. Like a show, which she was famous for, but in this particular role she was NOT convincing.

I stand corrected, in one area — the one small snippet at 1:47 in the video, with Daniel, it was totally and undeniably believable. Her love for him shined through like a flicker of flame on a prism. It permeated and enveloped everyone in it’s path.

Watch the video and see if you get the same impression. This is after all, simply my impression, not anything more.
