Klingon opera prepares for interstellar debut - Yahoo! News

THE HAGUE (Reuters) – DaHjaj 'oH Qaq jaj vaD bI'reS.

No, your screen is not broken -- that, for the uninitiated, is how one says "Today is a good day for opera" in Klingon.

The invented language, spoken first by the fictional aliens of the "Star Trek" universe and later embraced by humans worldwide, is now being put to use in an opera making its debut on Friday in the Dutch city of The Hague.

Opera is a cornerstone of the Klingon culture that is a major part of the "Star Trek" canon, which led to the creation of the show "U" (which means universe or universal).

"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.

Whenever I have to deal with a Klingon, I just use more toilet paper...followed by a shower.
