Rufus Wainwright at Majestic Theatre Dallas

Incredibly unique, exquisite, and simply musically magnificent. Rufus Wainwright, the outstanding purveyor of operatic pop, has created some of the most iconic contemporary tracks, such as “Going To a Town” and “Oh What a World.” Moreover, the talented multi-instrumentalist and vocalist has taken the music world with his epic renditions of “Hallelujah” and “Across the Universe.” Wainwright’s prowess stemmed from his music-oriented childhood thanks to his folk musician parents, London Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle. He often performs with his sister, Marth Wainwright, who sings backup vocals.

In 1998, Wainwright released his eponymous debut album via DreamWorks Records. The highly-acclaimed album featured the songs “Foolish Love” and “Beauty Mark.” The album reached number 24 on Billboard’s Top Heatseekers chart. In 2001, Wainwright’s sophomore release, Poses, entered the Billboard 200 and topped the Heatseekers chart. The album won the Outstanding Music Album at the 2022 GLAAD Media Awards and Best Alternative Album at the Juno Awards. In 2007, Wainwright released his highest-charting album, Release the Stars. The fifth studio effort featured the hit single, “Going To a Town,” which peaked at number 54 in the U.K. Meanwhile, the album peaked at number 23 on the Billboard 200, and it charted in 12 other countries, making Release the Stars Wainwright’s most commercially successful album.
