Owner59 -> An Inconvenient Truth-to be made into opera! (7/1/2008 8:46:12 PM)
http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/music/2008/06/opera_in_tune_with_the_politic.html The Italians are putting together an opera for Al Gore`s award winning book. I think this is cute and will further piss off those who were soured by Gore`s book and it`s success.

Eccentric project though, isn't it? I mean, I know they made a Jerry Springer: The Musical, but... Oil well, watch this space!

What Inconvenient Truth? That Al walked in on Hillary whipping bill while she was dressed in a Gestapo uniform? Maybe it was Al that caught Willie and Monica? Maybe it wasnt Monica and Willie at all, it might have been Monica, Hillary, and Tipper..... Anything is possible in the white house....

That seems an odd combination of genres. But if they have an audience for this in Italy then why not?

Apparently the book is a big hit in Europe.

No more odd than when "Nixon in China" was made an opera. Opera jnust isn't my cuppa tea. Now a rock opera, perhaps done by The Who would be cool.

Except Roger doesn't still sing a razor line, every time... And WTF. Al Bore already puts everyone to sleep. To have a band of aging rockers bandying about imitating him makes my eyelids seem heavy just thinking about it quote: ORIGINAL: cjan No more odd than when "Nixon in China" was made an opera.
