"The Zizek-inspired operas are planned to reach the main stage in 2020. The philosopher has, said Holten, “challenged opera writers to write about their fears and hopes for the world now.” The four composers invited to undertake the challenge are the Finn Kaija Saariaho, German Jörg Widmann , Italian Luca Francesconiand the Briton Mark-Anthony Turnage whose opera Anna Nicole, about the model and TV personality, is to be revived in the 2014-15 season. Turnage is also writing an opera for children for the Linbury, scheduled for December 2015."
