If talking about sex makes you blush with embarrassment there’s an opera that carries a tune for everything you wanted to know but were too shy to ask. ‘Life from Light’ reportedly borrowed its verse from Wikipedia descriptions of sexual intercourse.

One of the arias contains the following description: “The erect penis of the male is inserted into the female’s vagina until the male ejaculates semen which contains sperm, into the female’s vagina,” The Independent reported.

‘Life from Light’ is the brainchild of the 36-year-old Spanish composer Toni Castells, hailed as “Massive Attack meets Mendelssohn”. 

“At times I have problems dealing with my dark side, music helps me return to the light,”Castells explains on his website.

The theme of the opera is said to revolve around Charles Darwin’s famous quote about “the impossibility of conceiving this immense and wonderful universe, including man with his capacity for looking far backwards and far into futurity, as the result of blind chance or necessity.”

“If we can knock down any pre-conceived walls that exist within opera and the general public of the genre being in anyway elitist and the domain of the upper classes, then we will be revolutionising the opera world as well as helping to educate even further the masses when it comes to subjects such as family planning and safe sex,” the up-and-coming composer told the newspaper.

Set to premiere at London’s Union Chapel, the show has been modestly billed on the venue’s website as “an exploration of what it means to be human on planet Earth.”

Utility workers from across the US are descending on the Northeastern states left ravaged by Superstorm Sandy, but some volunteers making the trek are being told they can’t pitch in since they don’t belong to a union.

According to a report published late Thursday by WAFF News out of Seaside Heights, crews coming to assist all the way from Alabama’s Decatur Utilities were turned away because they aren’t unionized, despite making the 800-mile jaunt to lend a hand.

WAFF quotes Decatur worker Derrick Moore, who tells the network that he and his colleagues “are frustrated being told, in essence, ‘thanks, but no thanks.’”

Left with nothing to do in New Jersey, Moore and other members of the Decatur team are reportedly waiting in Roanaoke, Virginia to see if Seaside Heights authorities will change their mind. Meanwhile, though, millions of residents up and down the East Coast remain without power after a powerful tropical storm downed power lines and flooded streets from North Carolina to New England.

According to the latest figures available early Friday, the death toll from the frankenstorm may already be close to hitting 100, and recovery efforts are expected to continue for weeks, if not months. At the same time, though, things may be off to a slower start in New Jersey if nonunionized volunteers are refused any further.

Bill Yell, a spokesman for Alabama’s Huntsville Utilities, tells AL.com that nine of his employees are currently helping with recovery from the storm, but not in New Jersey where he claims they were told they weren’t needed. Instead, his crew of unionized workers has been volunteering their services with Long Island Power Authority in New York.

According to ABC News, more than 40,000 workers from utility companies across 49 states have been dispatched to the East Coast to aid in recovery efforts, with the US Air Force now assisting by moving dozens of utility vehicles onboard cargo planes.

On Thursday, forecasting firm Eqecat estimated the damage from the storm to be close to $50 billion.
