| Description |
The bombing of the Greenpeace flagship is the inspiration for a new Australian Opera by composer Colin Bright and librettist Amanda Stewart. The sinking of the Rainbow Warrior tackles the issues surrounding the fear and worldwide condemnation of French nuclear testing in the Pacific Ocean and the social and ecological disasters these tests may have caused for future generations. |
