Ilsa and Lisa Klinghoffer, the victim's daughters, have accused Adams' opera of "perverting the terrorist murder of our father". One man was murdered in the stand-off with authorities: 69-year-old Leon Klinghoffer, a Jewish-American tourist. "I'm convinced that the opera is not anti-semitic," said Peter Gelb, general manager for the Met, "but I've also become convinced that there is genuine concern in the international Jewish community that the live transmission of The Death of Klinghoffer would be inappropriate at this time of rising anti-Semitism, particularly in Europe."Ĭomposed in 1991, The Death of Klinghoffer depicts the Palestine Liberation Front's 1985 hijack of an Italian cruise ship.
