A press release from the English National Opera announces details of its forthcoming production of The Death of Klinghoffer, which will have seven performances in February and March of next year. Tom Morris, of War Horse and Jerry Springer: The Opera, will direct; Alan Opie sings the role of Klinghoffer, and Neal Davies is the Captain. "London audiences are my ideal listeners — sophisticated, musically literate, enthusiastic and of course a little bit insane," John Adams says in the release. "I look forward to being among them for the premiere.” Of interest to New Yorkers is the information that this Klinghoffer is a co-production with the Met, which plans to stage the opera in the 2014-15 season. The two companies have previously collaborated on Adams's Nixon in China and Doctor Atomic, Nico Muhly's Two Boys, and various other works.
