Wuthering
Heights, an opera by Carlisle Floyd after
the novel by Emily Brontë, is the iconic story of Cathy
and Heathcliff, whose bond in childhood grows into an unbreakable
love, set against the raw landscape of the Yorkshire Moors. Their
attempt to reform their interior nature and conform to society’s
expectations of them ends in tragedy for them and the people around
them.
The
iconic story of an unbreakable love, set against the raw landscape of
the Yorkshire Moors. American composer Carlisle
Floyd’s setting of the story has not been seen in NYC
since its premiere in 1959, when it was presented by the New York
City Opera. Many operas followed including Of Mice and
Men (1969), which became one of Floyd’s most performed
works throughout the world. Long associated with Houston Grand Opera,
they commissioned three of Carlisle Floyd’s major operas. In
1999, his most celebrated opera, Susannah finally
reached The MET in a production featuring Renée Fleming and Samuel
Ramey in the iconic leading roles.
