Rest easy, gay cowboys, the New York City Opera has commissioned composer Charles Wuorinen to write an opera based on the Academy Award-winning film Brokeback Mountain, according to Reuters.
Wuorinen, 70, said in a statement, "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."
I guess a musical just wasn't gay enough, they had to do an opera?
