It is my understanding that only the radio broadcast has be cancelled, but the performance 'in situ' will go on.

Peter's choice of title is certainly emotionally/politically loaded. Not withstanding his protestations, he must have known that to be the case. A simpler, more accurate title might have been, "Met cancels broadcast of Klinghoffer opera". He could then have opined, however, in the body of the post.

I think the main bad actor in the cancellation is the Met itself. I'm not real big on prior self-censorship of artistic endeavors.
