//And now I have visions of the opera touring to Earth five or six years after the declassification of the Program.//
And half the SGC goes to see it. Oh. Or better yet, Madison's class, for a unit.
//People would want to see it, and there would be such an uproar about respecting authorial intent and point-of-view interpretation, and accepting that in other cultures the social normatives are different.//
There totally would be. And at least one academic type would wind up getting a paper out of it.
//The military still won`t be happy with Rodni and John. They may insist that the Clarity Duet be cut out,//
They can't very well do that and pass it -- besides, this is opera. Die Walküre is one of the classic examples of what you can get away with in an opera, and in that as in this, the person transgressing societal boundaries dies at the end.
What the USAF might do is request that the Major-captain not be presented as one of their officers, and perhaps inquire whether his name could be changed to avoid casting aspersions on Lt. Col. Sheppard.
(Of course, by the time the program is declassified and five or six more years have gone by, the issue may well be moot in one way or another.)

With a few sly digs here and there; I expect she felt very ambivalent about the Atlanteans for a very long time.
But in the end -- it's worth doing, and I imagine that was how they managed to get the Satedan and Hoffan stars.
//So does this mean you live in Ontario?//
Indiana, these days. I grew up in Michigan, and my family used to take a weekend every year to drive up to Stratford and see some of the plays; last year we did it for old times' sake, although it took rather longer when starting from Indianapolis. ^_^
