John Adams - “The Death of Kinghoffer”
Opera Film
120 minutes. Free
The Death of Klinghoffer is an American opera, with music by John Adams to an English-language libretto by Alice Goodman. First produced in Brussels and New York in 1991, the opera is based on the hijacking of the passenger liner Achille Lauro by the Palestinian Liberation Front in 1985, and the hijackers' murder of a 69-year-old Jewish-American wheelchair-using passenger, Leon Klinghoffer.
The concept of the opera originated with theatre director Peter Sellars,[1] who was a major collaborator, as was choreographer Mark Morris. It was commissioned by five American and European opera companies, and the Brooklyn Academy of Music

“Taster Menu” Oxford Improvisers
Sunday 13th September 2026, 7pm, £10, vermouth
Oxford Improvisers is a musical collective formed in 2001 to play and perform free music, an internationally respected approach that embraces players from the worlds of jazz, classical, experimental, folk and ethnic music. By putting aside the rules and structures that enclose so many forms of music-making, free music allows players of widely differing training to come together and to create extraordinarily diverse and rich music ‘in the moment’.
In our first excursion to Chipping Norton, Oxford Improvisers is offering a ‘taster menu’ comprising four short performances, followed by an opportunity for listeners and musicians to discuss free music together.
