Klinghoffer opera attracts hundreds of protestors

Politicians including former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani demonstrated outside the Metropolitan Opera on Monday over a controversial show.

John Adams' opera The Death of Klinghoffer relates the murder of a disabled Jewish man killed by Palestinian gunmen in 1985.
Some critics have accused the work of glorifying terrorism and being anti-Semitic.
The Met denies these claims. The opera will run in New York until 15 November.
About 400 people stood behind barricades chanting: "Shame on the Met!" and carrying signs saying "The Met glorifies terrorism" before the first scheduled performance.
Giuliani and Republican politician Peter King gave speeches to the demonstrators.
