The Metropolitan Opera has officially announced that the opera by John Adams (The Death of Klinghoffer) scheduled for 15 November 2014 has been removed from the Met's 2014/15 Live in HD Season Schedule.

It is replaced by Rossini's comic opera Il Barbiere di Siviglia, which will be presented a week later than the original date, at 6:55 pm on 22 November 2014, with Isabel Leonard, Lawrence Brownlee and Christopher Maltman in the leading roles.

We appreciate your understanding regarding these unexpected changes.



John Adams's meditative opera is based on the 1985 hijacking of the cruise ship Achille Lauro and the subsequent murder of a Jewish passenger. The Met premiere, a co-production with English National Opera, is directed by Tom Morris, whose other credits include the international theatrical hit War Horse. David Robertson conducts a cast led by Paulo Szot as the Captain of the Achille Lauro; Alan Opie as the title character; Michaela Martens as Klinghoffer's wife, Marilyn; Sean Pannikar as Molqi; Aubrey Allicock in his Met debut as Mamoud; and Ryan Speedo Green as "Rambo.”
