Rufus Wainwright brings his ornate, theatrical songwriting to Boettcher Concert Hall in Denver. Expect a voice built for big rooms, piano-driven ballads, and the kind of orchestral pop craft that draws as much from opera and Judy Garland as it does from folk.
Wainwright has spent decades blurring the line between singer-songwriter and composer, and a concert hall setting suits that instinct well. This is a show for people who want lyrics and melody given room to breathe.
