Because What Opera Really Needs Is A Few Revolutionary Nuns

English National Opera has commissioned a new work from the Asian Dub Foundation, an experimental group “best known for their blend of breakbeats, rap and politics.” No one seems quite sure what the opera, which will premiere in 2006, will consist of, but just in case anyone was worried that the ADF would take its usual act down a notch for the sake of high art, they have announced that the protagonists will be Libyan dictator Colonel Moammar Gadafi and his “revolutionary nuns.”
