Brokeback Mountain to be turned into an opera
June 9th, 2008 by Dave Hanson
The New York City Opera has commissioned American composer Charles Wuorinen to write an opera based on “Brokeback Mountain,” a love story about two U.S. ranch-hands that won three Oscars when it was turned into a movie. So basically all the progress the movie made to make a gay love affair approachable and comprehensible to heterosexual men is being undone in one swipe – now, heterosexual men will once again view same-sex love as overly theatrical and alienatingly incomprehensible and on top of it, excruciatingly long and boring.
