Brokeback Mountain to be turned into opera
New York City Opera has commissioned American composer Charles Wuorinen to write an opera based on Brokeback Mountain, a love story about two US ranch-hands that won three Oscars when it was turned into a movie.
The opera house's spokesman Gerard Mortier said Wuorinen had accepted an invitation to compose an opera based on Annie Proulx's short story. It is slated to premiere during City Opera's 2013 spring season.
This would mark New Yorker Wuorinen's second world premiere at City Opera. He also composed Haroun and the Sea of Stories, an adaptation of a Salman Rushdie novel which opened in 2004.
"Ever since encountering Annie Proulx's extraordinary story I have wanted to make an opera on it, and it gives me great joy that Gerard Mortier and New York City Opera have given me the opportunity to do so," Wuorinen, 70, said in a statement.
Brokeback Mountain is the story of two men who meet and fall in love on the fictional Brokeback Mountain in Wyoming in 1963 with their complex relationship lasting 20 years.
The story was made into a film in 2005 which won three Oscars.

Britney Spears Due Back In Court Today
On the surface, the singer appears to have gone some way towards getting life back on track following her January meltdown which resulted in her father Jamie being awarded conservatorship over her affairs.
Now all the recovering pop wreck has to do is convince a judge that she’s ready to take back control of her life – and turning up to today's hearing will be a good place to start.
"If she wants more freedoms, she'll be there," says a source.
"It's highly unlikely Judge Goetz would sign off on changes to the conservatorship order without being able to look Britney in the eye."
Today is expected to be less about whether Brit is capable of looking after her boys, Sean Preston, 2, and 21-month-old Jayden James, and more about whether she is fit to look after herself.
"It's a lot like the last time she was in court for the custody hearings," a case insider explains to OK!.
"In that case, she had been evaluated by the court to judge her parenting skills. This time, it's about her being able to care for herself."
The singer saw her visitation increased from 9 hours a week to 27 on May 6.
Stay tuned to Entertainmentwise for all the latest updates on today's hearing.
