This week we reported that a new opera based on the classic Annie Proulx short story and film Brokeback Mountain opened in Madrid. Now, you'll be able to see it:
Medici.TV will
present a free, live webcast of the world premiere production of
Charles Wuorinen’s new opera, "Brokeback Mountain," from Madrid’s Teatro
Real on Friday, February 7 at 2pm (EST).
The American composer, whose honors
include both a Pulitzer Prize and a MacArthur Foundation “genius” grant,
based his opera on the short story of the same name by his fellow
Pulitzer Prize-winner Annie Proulx, who wrote the libretto herself.
Starring Canadian bass-baritone Daniel Okulitch and American tenor Tom
Randle as closeted ranch hands Ennis del Mar and Jack Twist, Madrid’s
world premiere production is directed by Ivo van Hove, general director
of the Toneelgroep in Amsterdam, under the leadership of conductor Titus
Engel.
The live webcast will be available for
free streaming on demand for 90 days, beginning on February 7. You can
also watch medici.tv concerts on the iPhone with the free medici.tv App.
