Added without hesitation to our Netflix list: L'Upupa und der Tiumph der Sohnesliebe, an opera by Henze. One of its roles: Al Radshi, Grand Vizier of Manda, the Island of the Black Baboons (baritone). Can't wait!

Upupa, if you're not already aware, refers to the possessor of the best scientific name ever: Upupa epops.
