Wainwright has written and recorded songs for a wide variety of movies and TV shows, including Brokeback Mountain, Shrek, Judy, Meet the Robinsons, The Aviator, Moulin Rouge and "Boardwalk Empire." He and his sister, Martha Wainwright, continue the legacy of their mother, Canadian folk icon Kate McGarrigle, and raise funds for the Kate McGarrigle Fund for sarcoma research and a music therapy program. He has appeared at many of the world's greatest concert halls and festivals, including Royal Albert Hall, Carnegie Hall, Sydney Opera, Teatro Colon, Hollywood Bowl, the Elbphilharmonie, the Olympia, Glastonbury, Roskilde and the Kennedy Honors.
Wainwright has distinguished himself by playing original orchestrated pop songs, orchestral settings of 9 Shakespeare Sonnets and pieces from an extensive classical repertoire with orchestras around the world such as the Chicago Symphony, Toronto Symphony, Residentie Orchestra, Orchestre National de Ille de France and the orchestra of the Teatro Real. His second opera, based on the story of the Roman Emperor Hadrian and Antinous, premiered in October 2018 at the Canadian Opera Company in Toronto and won a Dora Award for Outstanding New Opera. Making a name for himself in the classical music world, Wainwright's acclaimed first opera, titled Prima Donna, premiered at the Manchester International Festival in July 2009 and was performed in London, New York, Paris, Buenos Aires and Hong Kong. He has collaborated with artists including Elton John, Burt Bacharach, Robert Wilson, David Byrne, Boy George, Joni Mitchell, Pet Shop Boys, Heart, Robbie Williams, Jessye Norman, Billy Joel, Paul Simon, Sting and producer Mark Ronson. The fact that hes always been out and whatnot is just gravy to me. New York-born, Montreal-raised singer songwriter Rufus Wainwright has released seven studio albums with three DVDs and three live albums, including the Grammy nominated Rufus Does Judy at Carnegie Hall. I know everyone here seems to think hes a nasal, talentless hack, not nearly in the league of Kylie, Rhianna, Gaga, etc.
