A modern Opera adaptation by Charles Wuorinen based on Annie Proulx's short sorty previously adaptated by Ang Lee for
the Oscar-winning film Brokeback Mountain.

Brokeback Mountain marks Wuorinen's return to the opera stage with one of the major works of his career, equally ambitious
in its beauty and momentous tragedy. Brokeback is the story of ranch hand Ennis del Mar and rodeo cowboy Jack Twist, two
young men who meet and fall in love on the fictional Brokeback Mountain in Wyoming in 1963. Wuorinen says "It's a story of
doomed love, in this case a complex homosexual relationship taking place in a very homophobic society."

In a decidedly different approach than the film adaptation, Wuorinen creates a grittier atmosphere. The story and characters
have been tightly condensed by Proulx. In reference to the genesis of the story Proulx has written "'Brokeback' was
constructed on the small but tight idea of a couple of home-grown country kids, opinions and self-knowledge shaped by the
world around them, finding themselves in emotional waters of increasing depth. I wanted to develop the story through a kind
of literary sostenente."

In approaching the work for the stage Wuorinen writes "The music of Brokeback Mountain conveys the harsh magnificence of
the Mountain where the protagonists first meet. Visiting Annie in Wyoming, seeing the land where the story is set and the
characters shaped was invaluable, and it made a deep impression on me. Sometimes the score evokes the icy clarity of the
high-altitude freedom the characters enjoy there. But the Mountain also breathes and storms, and the music projects this
turbulence as well - especially when it transfers into the interior lives of the characters and their interactions in the human
world. And the tragedy of the two principals, their doomed love, calls forth the most lyrical flights in the score."
With bass-baritone Daniel Okulitch and tenor Tom Randle. Staged by Ivo van Hove and conducted by Titus Engel.
