This program addresses politics that underlie opera and opera that enriches political commentary. We focus specifically on the competing Israeli and Palestinian narratives portrayed and provoked by John Adams's opera, "The Death of Klinghoffer." Activities include presentation and discussion of related opera performances, films, and optional readings. Opera enthusiasts and novices are equally welcome. Dr. Adelman is an Emeritus Professor of Biological Chemistry and Past Director of the Institute of Gerontology at the UM Medical School.
This class for those over 50 meets select Mondays and Tuesdays, October 20 - April 14, 2015. Contact OLLI office for specific dates.
