Howard Shore, and David Cronenberg recently announced that, along with Placido Domingo, they'll be turning their version of George Langelaan's The Fly into an opera.
According to The CBC, the trio will have their Fly opera open in Paris on July 1, 2008 before moving over to Los Angeles some time in September. The production will consist of a chorus, a 75-piece orchestra and three characters: a baritone, a tenor and a mezzo-soprano. As a diehard fan of the flick, I'm guessing the ill-fated Seth Brundle is the baritone, his lady love the soprano and the horribly awful Stathis Barnes as the tenor. Too bad I won't be anywhere near Paris next July or Los Angeles next September.

Plot Summary for The Fly: Seth Brundle is a scientist working on teleportation. Just when he thinks he's ironed out the last bug in his system, the intervention of a common house fly turns Seth into a 6 foot insect. The transformation from man to fly is gradual but horrific, and is witnessed by Veronica; a reporter documenting Seth's story. Seth has some time to try to find a cure, but is there enough time...?

Is Cronenberg psychic or Simply God?
We find It Intuitive that He took a Break from Film on purpose during a Time he would have Inadvertently been forced to do so, during the Writer's Strike.
That's a Pisces for Ya...
Go David, Go!
