this post is exactly why this opera DOES need to be performed. this kind of simplistic spin held sway for too many years and did too much damage domestically and internationally. the people opposing gelb's decision to have KLINGHOFFER performed misunderstand the cause and the symptom. the genie is out of the bottle, the toothpaste out of the tube and there's no going back to believing events on this scale are black and white. they're more complicated and the world isn't just catching on it's caught on. stopping a production of this opera won't get the genie back in the bottle or the toothpaste back in the tube.

it's not often i find myself defending a decision by peter gelb and it doesn't alter one whit my conviction that gelb's gotta go. but for this - i applaud him.
