Subject: Brokeback Mountain the Opera

Written By: Philip Eno on 01/28/14 at 12:04 pm

A modern Opera adaptation of the Oscar-winning film Brokeback Mountain premieres in Madrid this week.

Based on the short story by Annie Proulx, the tale of forbidden love between two cowboys has been translated into an opera.

Composer Charles Wuorinen completed the opera in 2012 after exploring the Wyoming mountains with Proulx, who also wrote the libretto for the opera.

Maybe they'll turn Backdoor Mountain into a weekly sitcom too.

Not necessarily. They could go with two lesbians instead of two gay people.

Why do they have to be gay or lesbian actors?  Straight actors can play those roles

With all the actors who have come out as gay, I don't know if there are any straight actors left...

Now that could make sense. That I'd watch.  ;)
