Nope, not a joke (at least, I don't think it is!): Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth will be made into an opera by Italian composer Giorgio Battistelli. The production will debut in Milan in 2011. As The Independent explains it, "It began life as a slide show before mutating into a prize-winning documentary and a book, but now An Inconvenient Truth, the work for which the former US vice-president Al Gore was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, is to become an opera."
This is kinda weird, right? What, exactly, will this look like? Also, hang onto those PowerPoint presentations, folks. They could be operatic masterpieces someday.

1When, oh when, will the fat lady sing???
2Martini! That's so funny!
I didn't care for the movie, and I don't like opera's, so I won't be needing to hear anything about this from here on out.
3It is true...am looking forward to another new opera instead of the old war horses
4Oh, for God's sake.
