    The first ever Klingon opera is under way in The Hague, Netherlands. The production at the Zeebelt Theatre is being performed entirely in Klingon by the Terran Research Ensemble.

    The creators Marc Okrand and Floris Schonfeld explained why they thought it would be a success.

    They do appear to be something they'd build on Blue Peter alright! Though considering the opera's budget and the lack of close-ups I'm sure they'll do just fine.

    Certainly true, and it's all authentic meaning the language is correct & the actual portrayals must be cannon too so hats off to them - I'd actually say it's a great laugh being there to see it :)
