Anna Nicole Smith was Playboy's Playmate of the Year in 1993. She received notoriety when she married 89-year-old Houston oil tycoon J Howard Marshall II the following year and after his death in 1995 fought a protracted legal battle with his son over his estimated $500 million fortune. She died of an accidental drug overdose in 2007 at the age of 39.

Turnage is the composer of "Greek" and the West End show "Jerry Springer: The Opera." The libretto is by Richard Thomas. The Royal Opera Covent Garden Music Director Antonio Pappano will conduct and Richard Jones will direct.
