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.

Class meets select Mondays and Tuesdays, January 19 - April 14, and is for those over 50. Please contact OLLI office for specific dates.
