Kang's future



Qor'etlh

I am prepairing a story on the subject of the "Kang" opera for
"ja'chuqghach", the newsletter of "Fire & Steel".  I could use any
information that I can get.  Could you elaborate on your conversations with
David Barron and Tim Twohy?  I have not been able to get ahold of either
of them.  What are their intentions/hopes for the opera?

Also, you mentioned that Niel Norman, who "produces most of the sanctioned
Star Trek Music HAS demos of the Opera. He is less than enthusiastic, by
all accounts."  Does this mean that he does not like the work, or is not
hopeful of it's chances for being published?

Thanks
