"It is being billed as the Vatican musical. One of the Pope's music officials, the choirmaster of St John Lateran, Monsignor Marco Frisina, has written the score for a song-and-dance extravaganza based on Dante's Divine Comedy. It includes punk, rock, jazz and even heavy metal numbers but early reports suggest they figure only in the section devoted to hell....
"La Repubblica reported that, after the "hell" of rock, jazz and punk, Dante would be seen exploring purgatory to the strains of Gregorian chant before entering paradise to the accompaniment of music written in a classical style."
