An Inconvenient Truth to Become an Opera?
I’m sure you have all heard about Al Gore’s Nobel Prize winning bore fest, An Inconvenient Truth. It is Power Point presentation put on DVD where he spends about 10% of the time informing you about things he believes are trends of global warming, and 90% of the rest of the time trying to slip in jokes about how he lost the Presidential Election when the Florida recounts didn’t go his way.
Now there are some people who actually think it is a great idea to combine one really boring thing with another really boring thing. Opera and power point presentations about global warming. Boy, I certainly have my cheap hotels reservations all lined up for this one! The Opera is apparently at the legendary La Scala opera house in Milan plans to do an opera version of Al Gore’s documentary during its 2011 season. Italian composer Giorgio Battistelli hopes the opera will help people see the world’s environmental predicament from a fresh point of view. Well…at the very least it should get a lot of laughs.
