Anyone seen Klinghoffer/planning to see it? Curious in re the "anti-Semitism" angle. From what I have read it doesn't exactly sound anti-Semitic but maybe a little morally mushy.

Tomassini's exemplary description of complex, apparently imperfect, riveting The Death of Klinghoffer at the Met: http://nyti.ms/1pwPdry

the libretto sounds corny to me. I'm sure the music is great though.

Reich > Glass, easy. Adams I can't speak intelligently about, though I would think the question would be Adams vs. Luther Adams (and the answer fairly clear?).

A friend who is a Met subscriber was at opening night, and was revolted by Rudy Giuliani / Fox News etc milking the "anti-Semitic" angle in the plaza. He finds the accusations ludicrous, and as his mate is Israeli I tend to believe him.

Furore made me check out Klinghoffer, which I'd blown off when it came out. Man I am loving this. The 2001 film version is great so far, though I'm glad I listened to the recording first before watching it (there are a lot of diegetic sound cues in the film, especially at the beginning, which distract from the opening choruses)
