The maker of laws should not practise disputation, but should administer justice. Nor is it fitting that he should appear to have framed the law by contention, but in an orderly manner. For the transaction of public affairs does not demand, as a reward of his labors, the clamor of theatrical applause, but the law destined for the salvation of the people. [From the Visigoth Legal Code]

Did the Visigoths -have- theatre? Again my prejudices are exposed.
I am told that there is Klingon opera. I did not inquire further.
