Brokeback Mountain (Teatro Real De Madrid)

A modernist opera adaptation of Annie Proulx's short story, Brokeback Mountain, made famous by Ang Lee's awarding winning film. Acclaimed writer Charles Wuorinen's return to the opera stage is a dramatic tour de force, following the story of ranch hand Ennis del Mar and rodeo cowboy, Jack Twist, whose forbidden love redeems and dooms them equally. An epic of tragedy and beautiful, this opera is a sensational new interpretation of a modern classic.
