Gaddafi, The Opera

English national Opera will presnt an opera about Libyan disctator Muammar Gaddafi. “The opera tackles some of Libya’s most controversial moments on the world stage, including U.S. attacks on the country in 1986, the Lockerbie disaster of 1988 and the shooting of police officer Yvonne Fletcher outside Libya’s London embassy in 1984. Little wonder its creators see the project as high risk for one of Britain’s two main opera houses.”
