ABOUT THE SHOW
Praised by the New York Times for his “genuine originality,” RUFUS WAINWRIGHT has established himself as one of the great male vocalists, songwriters, and composers of his generation.
The New York-born, Montreal-raised singer-songwriter has released ten studio albums to date, three DVDs, and three live albums including the GRAMMY® nominated "Rufus Does Judy at Carnegie Hall."
RUFUS WAINWRIGHT has collaborated with artists such as Elton John, Burt Bacharach, Miley Cyrus, David Byrne, Boy George, Joni Mitchell, Pet Shop Boys, Heart, Carly Rae Jepsen, Robbie Williams, Jessye Norman, Billy Joel, Paul Simon, Sting, and producer Mark Ronson, among many others.
WAINWRIGHT has written two operas and numerous songs for movies and TV.
His 2020 GRAMMY® nominated studio album of original songs, "Unfollow the Rules," captured RUFUS WAINWRIGHT at the peak of his powers, entering artistic maturity with passion, honesty, and a new-found fearlessness.
In 2023, he embarked on a journey to his family folk roots with his newly-released, GRAMMY® nominated album "Folkocracy" featuring reinvented folk duets with artists like Chaka Khan, Brandi Carlile, John Legend and Anohni and many more.
WAINWRIGHT's musical of John Cassavetes’ Opening Night was set to open in London's West End with Ivo van Hove.
During this time he has also completed a Requiem which will premiere with the Orchestre Philharmonique de la Radio France in June, 2024.
Co- commissioners for the Requiem are the Master Chorale in Los Angeles, the Palau de la Musica in Barcelona, the Helsinki Symphony Orchestra, the RTE Orchestra in Ireland and the Royal Ballet London.
