A Klingon Opera IRL?

For real? OMFG no way!

Quote:

"The 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," creator Floris Schonfeld told Reuters Television.

The 90-minute show tells the story of Kahless the Unforgettable, said to be the first Klingon emperor. Tickets for the show's three-day run at the Zeebelt Theatre, which has just under 100 seats, were still available as of Friday morning.

There is a Klingon metal band called Stovokor as well.

Had not heard of them. Always wondered what Klingon would sound like with a healthy dose of metal -- totally badass, I'm sure.

Sorry, there is no hope with this.

The chap's got some good YTP vids, they give me a good chuckle.
He's also got the whole of the interactive game "Star Trek Klingon" on there, and you can play it too by clicking on the right objects and so on and so forth.

Qa'pla!

PS:Also, a masterful performance from a great actor:

Awesome Tarjak

Very Sun Tzu like. Reminds me of Alpha Centaruri.
