Oh the tenor and the cowhand should be friends

According to Rush & Molloy in the Daily News, Annie Proulx has given the go-ahead to an opera based on her story “Brokeback Mountain.” Charles Wuorinen will compose.

UPDATE: Now PlaybillArts is confirming the rumor, complete with quotes from Howard Stokar, Charles Wuorinen‘s agent.

La Cieca would boast that she called it, but alas that was the same posting that provoked Met insider NOT_GAY (well, that narrows it down) to complain that “this flaming, gay personality comes out and everything worthwhile that you wrote loses its meaning.” So now it looks like we were both right!

    At the “Glitter and be Gay” concert held as part of Stockholm Pride, hostess and former Wagnerian soprano Berit Lindholm announced that the tenor-baritone duet from “The Pearl Fishers” would be performed with a “Brokeback Mountain” influence. As 5 out of the 6 males singers in the concert were gay, this was perhaps not too surprising. The excellent “straight” performance of the duet ending with a big slurpy kiss + much use of tongues.
