An "Inconvenient" Opera


Giorgio Battistelli, an Italian composer has plans to turn Al Gore's global warming documentary into an Opera. According to Battistelli an "operatic treatment of Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" will help people see the world's environmental predicament from a fresh point of view." There's no question that an opera does offer a "fresh point of view," however, I think they forgot to take into account that the average Opera goer is probably about 80 years old. Someone might want to tell this guy that he is preaching to the wrong generation. It's the teenagers and spoiled Americans that need to change their ways. He might want to save his money and make a rap song instead.
