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.
