Rufus Wainwright

If you've ever been promised the world; here's the next best thing.

An intimate evening of solo splendour with the devastating Rufus Wainwright - featuring nothing more than a grand piano, a folder full of rich, thoughtful songs, and "that" voice.

The passing away of his mother and "greatest admirer and critic", legendary folksingerKate McGarrigle, in January this year, and the enduring admiration for his sister, folk-rocker Martha Wainwright, are themes that pervade much of Rufus Wainwright'sbreathtaking sixth studio album: "All Days Are Nights: Songs For Lulu".

Audiences can expect music drawn from his entire career alongside the new record which features the arresting Who Are You New York?, Wainwright's ode to the city; the beautiful Martha, a spare and powerful track named for his sister; Les Feux d'artifice t'appellent - the final aria from his debut opera Prima Donna; and Zebulon, a majestic song about one of Wainwright's high school sweethearts.

Do not delay in securing your tickets for this very special concert delivered by the man Elton John calls "the greatest songwriter on the planet." As we said earlier this year - if the 2008 Rufus Wainwright Australian tour is anything to go by - his return in 2010 will no doubt be the absolute musical highlight of your calendar year!

"Complex, melodramatic, ambitious, vain, beautiful and frequently magnificent!"
The Observer 

"A single piano is all that's needed to show off his immense vocal talent."
Billboard 

"One of the most talented singer-songwriters of his generation."
Bernard Zuel, Sydney Morning Herald
