“A Vatican composer is to stage an opera based on Dante’s Divine Comedy, with visions of heaven, hell and purgatory. The lavish production is reported to include 200 performers and musicians, six projectors and a huge stage… Reports suggest heaven will be full of classical style melodies, the limbo of purgatory will be illustrated with Gregorian Chant, with hell full of more jarring music.” Organizers are hoping that Pope Benedict will attend the premiere.
