“The Teatro Real de Madrid world premieres the opera based on Brokeback Mountain, an original story by the writer Annie Proulx who became famous thanks to the award-winning film by Ang Lee (2005). The controversial love story between two aspiring cowboys from the American Midwest was a great success with critics and audiences, becoming a symbol of the fight for sexual openness.”
