I’m not an opera queen, but if I were, I would probably be into Brokeback Mountain in opera form. Charles Wuorinen‘s operatic take on the gay cowboys-in-love classic is set to premiere in Madrid, starring bass-baritone Daniel Okulitch and tenor Tom Randle as Ennis Del Mar and Jack Twist. The original writer of the short story that the movie and opera were based on, Annie Proulx, wrote the libretto for it.
You’re asking, and I’m telling – are there sex scenes? It doesn’t look like it. I mean, it’s opera. There’s some shadowplay in a tent and then the afterglow in their bunk. No one’s meshed porn and opera yet. But Manhunt is looking into it.
If you can’t afford to make it to Madrid, Towleroad reports that Medici.TV will present a free webcast of the premiere from Madrid’s Teatro Real on Friday, February 7 at 2pm (EST).
