The first part of Bronte's novel forms the basis of this opera, faithful to the original story. However many of Bronte's poems and some of the poetic speeches from the second section of the novel have been interpolated. Both Wuthering Heights and the poems are of such a one-ness that the use of the poems is felt not to be an intrusion, but rather an intensification for the purposes of this musical setting.Bernard Herrmann: Wuthering Heights
