La Scala to stage Gore's 'Inconvenient Truth'

Quote:

MILAN, Italy (AP) — First it was the film and the book. Now the next stop for Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" is opera.

La Scala officials say the Italian composer Giorgio Battistelli has been commissioned to produce an opera on the international multiformat hit for the 2011 season at the Milan opera house. The composer is currently artistic director of the Arena in Verona.

La Scala also announced Thursday that Daniele Gatti will conduct next season's gala premiere of Verdi's "Don Carlo" on Dec. 7.

I hope The Goracle gets the lead, he looks ready...

I'm enough of an opera fan that I just might have to go see it. I hope they format it like the comedy Falstaff by Verdi. When I saw that I was laughing so hard I thought they may eject me from the theater.

Actually, I'm looking forward to what's likely to be the world's first PowerPoint opera

Opera?! That should be the kiss of death. (You're right, I can't stand opera)
