Caught an article about this in the Metro last week -
David Cronenberg has put his nasty vision of
The Fly on the stage - an opera stage at that.
The Fly The Opera premiered in Paris at the begging of this month and will move to LA in September - returning to the story's original roots, at least in part, Cronenberg and his team have set the brilliant scientist's mishap back in th 50's. Cronenberg has said he always thought there was something operatic about the story, describing it as "a profound parable on love and loss."
Sounds super interesting, and knowing Cronenberg he won't disappoint. Makes a change I suppose from film remakes and musicals based on films. Stage adaptations might be the new remake aparantly
Charles Wuorinen is adapting
Brokeback Mountain for New York City Opera - due out in 2013 - we'll see.
