Sing Long and Prosper – The World’s First Klingon Opera

It is a joyous day for every Star Trek fan that has ever owned a pair of pointy ears! On  Friday in The Hague (Netherlands)  “U’ the opera sung entirely in Klingon has officialy premiered. For those of you who are not well versed with Klingon language and history  ”U” is the Klingon word for “universe” or “universal” and the opera revolves around Kahless the Unforgettable, as legend tells it, the first Klingon Emperor.

“Klingon are known as passionate opera lovers but at the same time very little was known about Klingon opera here so as far as I was concerned that was a very interesting challenge to try and make an authentic, or as authentic, something out of that as possible,” U co-creator Floris Schonfeld told Reuters andThe BBC.

I’m guessing by ”here” he means Earth.
