AL GORE - AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH GETS OPERATIC

Former U.S. Vice-President AL GORE's environmental documentary AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH is to be adapted for the stage - as an opera.

Italian composer Giorgio Battistelli has been commissioned to produce an opera based on Gore's global warming film for the 2011 season at Milan, Italy's La Scala opera house.

Director Davis Guggenheim's film, which starred Gore as narrator and sage, premiered at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival and has since taken the world by storm.

The documentary won Academy Awards for Best Documentary Feature and for Best Original Song.

I wonder if we can get Sarahh to sing it for us...in Italian.


I love the way she sings.

Anyone want to guess who commissioned it? Hmmmm . . . ?

Let's make a Sarahh sandwich, shall we?

You take one pair of lips and I'll take another. When she screams, that will be our cue to switch...

That's one way to make her hit the high notes.

Laughing - oh my!

My ears were burning! Or something was, I guess.

I can do Italian.

I'm not too sure about Inconvenient Truth.

Then again, they made operas about a carnival side show and the Titanic, why not this?

Okay. STOP THE INSANITY! Do producers have no shame?

 

[shereads]

This made me laugh out loud - and I'm a fan of Al's. It's a joke, right?

Okay. STOP THE INSANITY! Do producers have no shame?

My favorite description of a producer:

"Hello," he lied.

This has to be the worst idea for a theatrical production since the Onion informed us about that Broadway musical that closed during the opening dance number, when the audience suddenly stampeded for the exits. It was called, "Fire! Fire! The Theater's On Fire!"

Hey!

That was supposed to be my big break.

I've been a producer. I had no shame. But at least I had taste.
