Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain’s final days are being turned into an opera by the Royal Opera House in London.The production, called Last Days, will be a production adapted from Gus Van Sant’s 2005 film of the same name.The film, which was centred on a young musician called Blake, was loosely based on Cobain’s last days. Cobain died by suicide in 1994 aged 27.A description from the Royal Opera House says that the opera “plunges into the torment that created a modern myth” and that “Blake” is “haunted by objects, visitors and memories distracting him from his true purpose – self-destruction”.The opera has been composed by Oliver Leith, the Royal Opera House’s composer-in-residence.
