	Brooklyn Philharmonic & Ridge Theater At Bam: The Death Of Klinghoffer
		Early this month, with America still actively engaged in Middle East policy, "Klinghoffer" was revived, in a staged concert version, produced by Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), the Brooklyn Philharmonic and Ridge Theater at BAM's Gilman Opera House, where it played 12 years earlier.
		The monologue of an Austrian passenger, wittily delivered in the sprechtstimme (song speech) style of Berg and Schoenberg, and a propulsive chorus at the end alone, varied the glacial pace of the act's reflections on the hijacking and on Nature.
		Kudos to the nine soloists--Stephen Powell and Nancy Maultsby as the Klinghoffers; Phyllis Pancella and Kirsten Blase as other passengers; James Maddalena returning to the role of the Captain, which he created; Todd Wilander, Nmon Ford, Eric Owens and Christina Wilcox as the terrorists—for their high-level performances.

		In a few cases where Klinghoffer's murder was "remembered," it was nauseating.
		It's that in the 20 years since his murder, we have empowered radical Muslims and the terrorists they support--the same ones who murdered her innocent, disabled father and threw him overboard.
