The current issue of The Advocate includes an interview with adorable 27-year-old bedhead Nico Muhly about his next composition project, an opera “based on a true Internet romance/friendship between two teenage boys that ended in one of the two stabbing the other to death.” Muhly’s “teen gay Internet sex drama,” to a libretto by Craig Lucas, is co-commissioned by the Metropolitan Opera and Lincoln Center Theatre. Meanwhile Muhly is touring in support of his new CD Mothertongue and ranting on his blog about knockoff iPhones.
