Get ready for "I Wish I Knew How to Quit You - the Aria."
The New York City Opera has commissioned Charles Wuorinen to compose an opera based on "Brokeback Mountain," the 1997 short story by Annie Proulx on which the 2005 Oscar-winning movie was based.
The opera is scheduled to premiere in 2013, the company said yesterday.
Funny. If this was going to be adapted to stage, I would have predicted a toe-tapping, big budget, broadway musical, with songs by Elton John.
Either way, I hope whomod and Halo get their tickets early.
