New York City Opera Will Finally Stage The ‘Brokeback Mountain’ Score It Commissioned

“The new group that reorganized City Opera and brought it out of bankruptcy announced Wednesday that it would give Brokeback” – which Gérard Mortier commissioned from composer Charles Wuorinen during that brief period he headed the company before it went bankrupt – “its United States premiere in the spring of 2018, at the end of its second full season back in the business of staging operas.”
