Rufus Wainwright

Rufus Wainwright plays the Dakota on October 6th. Known for his ornate, baroque-pop style and a voice that spans octaves, Wainwright has built a career blending cabaret, pop, and classical influences. This show offers an opportunity to hear his intricate songwriting and vocal range in a more intimate setting than his typical theater dates. The Dakota in Minneapolis is a jazz club known for its excellent acoustics and close-up stage view. It's a seated room, suited for attentive listening, which fits Wainwright's narrative and dramatic performance style. This show will likely appeal to fans of sophisticated songwriting, vocalists, and those who appreciate a blend of musical genres.
