I havent watched this so not sure what it would be like as a opera
Source DS
Annie Proulx's short story Brokeback Mountain, which was turned into an Oscar-winning film by Ang Lee, is to become an opera.
Charles Wuorinen accepted an offer from the New York City Opera to compose the show, which will open in 2013, reports the BBC.
"Ever since encountering Annie Proulx's extraordinary story I have wanted to make an opera on it," he said.
"It gives me great joy that Gerard Mortier (the company's general director) and New York City Opera have given me the opportunity to do so."
Brokeback Mountain tells the story of cowboys Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist, played in the 2005 film by Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, who fall in love when they meet on a Wyoming mountain in the '60s

| Hmmm, I'm not sure about this either although I've only ever seen the first half hour of the film, I thought it was quite boring and far too long :oops: |
