Britain's Royal Opera has recruited composer Mark-Anthony Turnage and Springer co-librettist Richard Thomas to create an opera about the Playboy model and octogenarian's wife who died of an overdose in 2007.
Despite the subject matter, the show "is not going to be tawdry. It is going to be witty, clever, thoughtful and sad," company director Elaine Padmore tells Britain's Guardian newspaper.
"It is not just a documentary about her," she says, "but a parable about celebrity and what it does to people."
