| Brokeback Mountain - The Opera |
NEW YORK, NY -- The New York City Opera has commissioned Charles Wuorinen to compose an opera based on "Brokeback Mountain," the short story by Annie Proulx about two cowboys falling in love that was made into a major Academy Award winning movie hit in 2005. Rumors about the opera have been swirling around for almost a year after Proulx gave the go-ahead last fall, but now more details about the Charles Wuorinen composed opera are coming out. The opera is scheduled to premiere in spring 2013, City Opera said Sunday. It will be City Opera's second Wuorinen premiere, following "Haroun and the Sea of Stories," which was based on a Salman Rushdie novel and opened in October 2004. "Ever since encountering Annie Proulx's extraordinary story I have wanted to make an opera on it, and it gives me great joy that Gerard Mortier and New York City Opera have given me the opportunity to do so," Wuorinen said in a statement.
