Science Fiction Invades Opera.
Or is it opera invades science fiction?
This week we seem to have received lots of opera news about our favorite literary genre, good ol' sci-fi.
It began with reports of Earth's first Klingon Opera, U, premiering in the Netherlands this month. Then it got even wackier with this "documentary" about sending a message in Klingon into space to invite a delegation to attend. Those Trekkies, always taking everything to the extreme. And when you think about it, do you really want to meet a Klingon opera critic?
Then there is Ka'i: Death of Dreams, an actual space opera that's an opera - with singing aliens and all. And yes, we imagine that would probably make it a space opera opera, but the Aria Serious crew is not big on semantics. And they're seeking a grant writer, if that's your area of expertise.
And finally, we received word that someone is working on Terminator 2: The Opera. And it's as bad as it sounds. Hey, you're lucky we didn't include Robocop: The Musical.
