For the first time in five years, beloved singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright returns to the stage in Sydney. This time, he brings a solo-selection of the biggest pop and folk compositions from his sweeping 11-album, three-decade career.

On piano and guitar, Wainwright and his “peerless, simultaneously sad and sensual soaring baritone” (The Herald Scotland) take you on a personal tour of his technicolour songbook.

Across his wide-ranging career, the New York-born, Montreal-raised showman has collaborated with the likes of Elton John, David Byrne, Joni Mitchell and Miley Cyrus, belted “Over the Rainbow” at Carnegie Hall, written two operas and penned a musical. In 2023, he celebrated his family folk roots with his GRAMMY® nominated album Folkocracy, duetting with Chaka Khan, Brandi Carlile, John Legend and many more.

Following Wainwright’s Sydney Festival debut back in 2005, see him in full flight at the Sydney Opera House this summer.  


★★★★★ "An inspired and formidable force of nature."

– The Herald Scotland

"Fans melted and mopped up by each quiver of his voice, that irrepressibly sardonic vibrato."

– The Guardian
