Approved

Many operas are about love that those around you do not approve. Charles Wuorinen found such material for today in the story BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN by Annie Proulx, which became famous as a film. The cowboys Jack and Ennis lived in turmoil between family and secret love affair in rural North America from 1963-1983. With his music, Wuorinen conjures up the rugged mountain landscape of Wyoming as well as the social climate of the small town: an opera about space and narrowness and the troubled mental life of two wanderers between worlds.
