An Inconvenient Truth: The Opera?

9/07/2008 3:44:00 PM.  | Jesse Perez

The director of 1973’s horror cult classic The Exorcist, William Friedkin, has been hired to direct the operatic version of a real life horror tale – Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth.

The opera will premiere at Milan’s renowned La Scala Opera House in 2011. It will be written by poet J.D. MCClatchy and composed by Giorgio Battistelli.

The original film, directed by Davis Guggenheim and presented by former US Vice President Al Gore, premiered at Sundance in 2006 and has been a driving force behind the Global Warming movement.
