“New York City Opera has commissioned American composer Charles Wuorinen to write an opera based on Brokeback Mountain, a love story about two U.S. ranch-hands that won three Oscars when it was turned into a movie… It is slated to premiere during City Opera’s 2013 spring season.” [Reuters]

2013? Geez. If Hussein gets elected (God/Goddess forbid) we’ll likely not have a country by then anyway, so we won’t have to put up with “the opera!!”

I’d watch that, but 2013?
Damnit, that’s light years away.
