I am not certain how well the story will adapt to an opera, but if there is anything more gay than an opera based on Brokeback Mountain, I can’t think of what it would be.
I am picturing an aria "Desidero che potrei rinunciarlo" (Okay, so I just looked up the Italian for "I wish I could quit you" on BabelFish. So sue me!)
And there was already a musical parody done a while back entitled "Oklahomo!", so that joke has already been done.
