Rufus Wainwright, who was born in New York and grew up in Montreal, is one of the greatest, most popular singers, composers and songwriters of his generation. As the son of the wonderful Canadian singer songwriter Kate McGarrigle, this career may have been born into him. He has worked with the greats of his field such as Elton John, David Byrne, Boy George, Joni Mitchell, the Pet Shop Boys, Robert Wilson, and his albums are grandiose pop opera with dreamlike ballads and brilliant cover versions. Even in classical music, a great love, he succeeded with the opera composition "Prima Donna" and set love sonnets by Shakespeare to music. Pure anticipation, then, for what is sure to be an unforgettable and emotional evening at the Palmengarten!
