A remake of 1986's The Fly is headed for the opera stage. You heard me. From The Orlando Sentinel:
Academy Award-winning composer Howard Shore, Plácido Domingo and director David Cronenberg are forming an unlikely trio to create an unlikely opera -- The Fly.This is exactly what science fiction needs to give it the class it deserves. And what better way than via an operatic version of a Cronenberg movie? I can't wait to see Plácido Domingo vomit on some poor bastard's stump just before he chows down. I bet Luciano Pavarotti is so jealous...A co-production by the Theatre du Chatelet and Domingo's Los Angeles Opera, The Fly will premiere in Paris on July 1, 2008, and open the Los Angeles Opera's 2008-9 season Sept. 7, 2008. Domingo will conduct both runs.

Brundlefly povero, si dibatte nel dolore, languisce ancora per l'amore di una donna che vuole rigurgitare su, e ha le larve con!
