Maestro puppeteer Premin performs with a traditional Sri Lankan puppet during a puppet show in Colombo October 18, 2014. Premin comes from a family of puppeteers from the south coastal town of Ambalangoda, which was popular for traditional puppeteers. His grandfather started the family profession of puppeteering in 1922, followed by his father in 1930 and later Premin in 1950. According to Premin, a puppet costs at least $300 to make. Puppet shows have become less popular since the 1980s, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to make a living as a puppeteer, according to Premin. He believes the puppeteer profession is facing a natural death, due to new technology and westernization. Picture taken October 18, 2014.

Protesters hold signs during a demonstration across from Lincoln Center and the New York Metropolitan Opera in New York, October 20, 2014. New York's Metropolitan Opera was bracing for its most tumultuous opening in decades on Monday as protestors demonstrated against "The Death of Klinghoffer," the John Adams opera about the 1985 hijacking of a cruise ship by Palestinian guerillas. The opera, seen by some as a humanist masterpiece and by others as anti-Semitic, depicts the murder of Leon Klinghoffer, a Jewish man on a cruise with his wife aboard the Achille Lauro. After his death, the killers threw the body of the retired New Yorker overboard along with his wheelchair. REUTERS/Mike Segar (UNITED STATES - Tags: CIVIL UNREST POLITICS SOCIETY)
