ARIAS WITH TWANG? "The New York City Opera has commissioned an opera based on 'Brokeback Mountain,' the Annie Proulx short story that became the basis for the 2005 Oscar-winning movie starring Jake Gyllenhaal and the late Heath Ledger. The critically acclaimed film caused controversy with its unabashed portrayal of a homosexual romance between two ranch hands. It won three Academy Awards. City Opera tapped Charles Wuorinen to compose the opera, which is to premiere in spring 2013."
