Metropolitan Opera romanticizes one NYer’s murder

Metropolitan Opera romanticizes one NYer’s murder. In 1985, Palestinian terrorists hijacked a cruise ship and shot a wheelchair-bound WWII vet in the head, then dumped his body overboard. NYC’s Met thinks this would make a good opera.

      • idk poppaj, seems they'd be more inclined to back this kinda stuff since their voting record indicates they favor prog policies.

    • That's because the actual victim was punished by a preferred perceived victim. It's not based in reality, but politics.

  • When its in vogue to kill Americans and even sing about it, our days are fucking numbered. Make no mistake-this is all part of the "progressives'" plan to erase America from the earth. This is a call to arms, for all the bad guys around the globe, to kill more Americans. It will be celebrated by the self-destructive left here, who have a collective death wish-which will be taken seriously by those who want to kill us.

  • They will also serve in the lobby the Leon Klinghoffer drink.

    2 Shots and a Splash.

    Great Art is suppose to make you think. It isn't suppose to always agree with you.

  • This is classless, & it sucks. But if they want to do it, they have the right to. You might want to tell their main sponsor, Texaco what you think about it.

    • Instead, they are more likely to recreate the historical birth of liberalism, by remaking "Caligula".

  • Just like Hillary.."what difference does it make"......I am sure the Klinghoffer family would have a thing or two to say to these liberal art-tards.....

  • Good grief. (I seem to be saying that a lot lately.) The people involved in the "arts" are often the most vapid people one can meet - full of themselves, wrapped in their artistic cloaks like flashers waiting to pounce in the park, and deeply incurably dull in a way that terrifies them deep inside. In the end, after all their posing, as this opera demonstrates, they mostly lack any vestige of discernment.
