For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: An Inconvenient Opera?

First it was the film and the book. Now the next stop for Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" is opera. La Scala officials say the Italian composer Giorgio Battistelli has been commissioned to produce an opera on the international multiformat hit for the 2011 season at the Milan opera house.

Can you believe this? An opera about a schlockumentary? Are you kidding me?

Can you predict some of the song titles and themes?
