Subject: RE: NY Met caves in to Zionist lobby
Considering the opera dates to 1991 and has had a good many productions and recordings over the years, including a few in the US, throwing the sort of paranoid shit around that the ADL is doing doesn't make a lot of sense. It's as popular and widely accepted as contemporary operas by mainstream composers get.
The ADL doesn't even speak for Zionism, let alone for all Jews. It's a far-right fringe group.
I've only heard bits of the opera but I've got a DVD of it somewhere. Might give it a watch tomorrow.
