| Opera to tackle life of Gaddafi |
| 2004-06-25 |
| British band Asian Dub Foundation have been commissioned to write an opera about Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi. The band normally play a fiery mix of rock, dance and Asian beats - but guitarist Chandrasonic is now working with the English National Opera (ENO). ENO artistic director Sean Doran said: "[Gaddafi] is a subject matter of our time, and I think with opera we have to look at the stories around us." The opera is expected to be completed for performance in 2006. EFL |
