youtu.be/zK60z5CFmfY Many in the artistic world and in the mainstream press (e.g. the NYTimes and The New Yorker) have failed to see this opera as anti-Semitic. They have defended it as dialogue on a difficult subject or on the basis of artistic freedom. Many people ask What can I do as one individual to stem the growing tide of anti-Semitic sentiment around the world? One simple and concrete step that you can take is to call or email Peter Gelb, director of the Metropolitan Opera. Tell him in your own words that you oppose the Mets production of this anti-Semitic opera, and urge him to cancel its appearance at this venerable institution. You wont be alone. In addition to thousands of individuals protesting this production, prestigious institutions are already abandoning the Mets anti-Semitic Klinghoffer production. The Guggenheim Museum, which had scheduled as part of its works and progress series an event that would have included Metropolitan Opera performers performing excerpts from the “Klinghoffer” opera, has just announced a cancellation of its production. | We urge you to let your voice be heard now. Time is of the essence if we are to stop the production from going forward this season.
