Rufus Wainwright Rotterdams Philharmonisch Orkest

“Opera is my religion,” says Rufus Wainwright. That would sound poignant coming from another singer-songwriter, but Wainwright is in a class of his own. His 'richly orchestrated, warm pop songs, sometimes cathedral-like in size' (NRC) and his 'voice that carries over mountains and valleys on windless days' (Volkskrant) simply require the accompaniment of a large orchestra. This concert gives him that – a one-off.
