ARLINGTON, Mass. -- The infamous clubbing that ice skater Nancy Kerrigan took on the knee is now set to music.
Arlington author Elizabeth Searle has co-written "Nancy and Tonya: The Opera," which is scheduled to be performed this spring at Tufts University.
Kerrigan was whacked by an associate of rival Tonya Harding during the Olympic trials prior to the 1994 Winter Olympics.
Searle told the Boston Herald that people are still fascinated by the incident.
The opera opens with Kerrigan and Harding giving dueling press conferences at the Olympics.
And the aria is built around Kerrigan's famous cry of "Why? Why? Why?" after she was hit.
