Croatian President to write Opera?

Angela Hager

Croatia's newly elected president Ivo Josipovic says in his spare time he would like to write an opera about the life of John Lennon.

Josipovic went to the Zagreb Music Academy and graduated in 1983. From 1987-2004 he was a lecturer at the academy, and from 1991 he was the director of the "Zagreb Music Biennale." (sic)

This would by no means be the first piece of music Josipovic has written. With several symphonies and some chamber music. The only conceivable problem is Josipovic taking for granted his "spare" time. With Croatia trying to be a member of the European Union as well as fighting allegations of genocide, Josipovic may not have that spare time after all.
