    Default Group given grant to research and stage authentic Klingon opera

    The story of Kahless the Unforgettable is a cornerstone of Klingon mythology, as told in the opera u. Members of the Klingon Terran Research Ensemble — based in The Hague, the Netherlands — have been workshopping u for the last year with an ambitious goal: to mount the first authentic performances of Klingon opera here on earth.

    ...

    The Watermill Foundation selected the Klingon Terran Research Ensemble for a residence last fall at the Watermill Center on Long Island. It's the creative home of avant-garde playwright and director Robert Wilson, perhaps best known for his work with composer Philip Glass on the opera Einstein on the Beach.


    ...


    There were no space suits, no bumpy heads, no communicator badges. Working in the pristine white gallery, the performers engaged in musical combat across a hexagonal ring in standard black concert wear.


    ...


    If the idea of Klingon Shakespeare strikes you as, well, ludicrous, the Klingon Terran Research Ensemble is actually a serious outfit. Schoenfeld has been exploring these strange new worlds like a cultural anthropologist. In trying to recreate Klingon opera, he says he's dealing with the same kinds of problems faced by anyone studying ancient Greek music or trying to stage so-called authentic works.

    Why not just say 'nerds pass up on pussy again to make opera' and save everyone a read?
