The Fat Alien Sings: A Klingon-Language Opera →
NPR’s Lara Pellegrinelli reports on the Klingon Terran Research Ensemble’s attempt to stage the first authentic performances of Klingon opera on Earth.
The new Star Trek movie opens Friday, and it includes the usual suspects: Vulcans, Romulans and, of course, humans. But one race gets short shrift: the Klingons.
The new movie is billed as a prequel — it’s set before the strident, bumpy-headed warriors were introduced to the Star Trek saga. But Klingons have not been forgotten — far from it. In fact, they’re the subject of an ongoing research project that explores a long-neglected art form: Klingon opera.
