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. He 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. He has written two
operas and numerous songs for movies and TV.
His 2020 GRAMMY® nominated studio album of original songs, Unfollow the Rules,
finds 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 GRAMMY® nominated album Folkocracy featuring reinvented folk
duets with artists like Chaka Khan, Brandi Carlile, John Legend and Anohni and many
more.
His first musical of John Cassavetes’ Opening Night for the West End with Ivo van Hove
premiered at the Gielgud Theater in March 2024. During this time he also completed his
Dream Requiem, which premiered with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France
in June of 2024 and featured Meryl Streep as the narrator. The recording of the
performance was released via Warner Classics in January 2025, which was followed by
the US premiere at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles featuring Jane Fonda
as the narrator. Co-commissioners for the Dream 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.
