Rufus Wainwright Tickets

Rufus was fabulous in a perfect setting for his songs and his sister was an added treat. She's adorable and so talented.

Great show - he's amazing !! Soooo talented - from piano to guitar - he has a beautiful voice - his duets with his sister were beautiful !! A must-see event - worthy every penny and more !!

This concert was awesome. Rufus Wainwright is an amazingly talented singer, musician and composer. Hearing him live was a fantastic experience...

Absolutely magical to see Rufus in the lovely Longwood Gardens. Watching night come on and the moon rise. His song about his father made me cry. His Shakespeare sonnet was wonderful. The crowd was awesomely quiet and attentive to both acts. You could hear a pin drop

He came on stage and started right off at the piano with "Going to a Town" dedicating it to the "healthcare debate." Rufus' voice was at it's most radiant last night. His keyboard work less so. But the setting was lush and intimate and he went through his set with the intensity and drama that is very much a part of him. My facorite songs he performed: the art teacher, dinner at eight, Les feux d'artifices (from his opera Prima Donna), especially though, Not Ready to Love.

We've seen Rufus pretty much every time he rolls through the Greater Philadelphia area (sometimes seeing him as many as 5 times in a year) and with but maybe one exception, he's never disappointed! This show seemed to be shorter than most concerts, but I attribute that to the venue's restrictions. It was fantastic to be in such an intimate setting and to be palpably close to the stage and the action.

Good concert overall, but sound system was so loud that at times it distorted the sound. Lifeterally painful to those of us sitting near the front. Why does everyone think louder is better? Rufus has an amazing, and amazingly strong, voice. No need for this.

The venue was gorgeous. It was a perfect place for a summer evening concert. Rufus Wainwright performed wonderfully. The entire experience was fantastic.

As a 70 something year old person with young tastes, I wasn't sure if I would really like this concert. I already had some Rufus CD's and had seen him on television. But he is so creative, shares so much emotion, is so accomplished as a musician, his voice has such range, he puts so much of himself into his whole performance,, didn't stint on time, I just found the evening enchanting. Fortunately the weather was cooperative at this outdoor venue, with the temperature in the 60's and no sign of rain. Staging was simple and functional with good sound and lighting. And he used a real piano.

Opening for Rufus, his sister, Lucy Wainwright Roache, was charming, sweet, and hysterical. Her clear, beautiful voice was a treat! Rufus was himself, which is no easy feat. His voice was great, his wit sharp, and his piano and guitar playing wonderful to hear with tree frogs singing chorus. He played old stuff, which I love, ended with Cigarettes and Chocalte Milk, and an encore of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, complete with fountains in the back drop! The scene was breathtaking and the music so powering, it kept everyone silent and in their seats. This venue suited him perfectly.

I have always lived near Longwood Gardens but I have never been there for a concert. It was absolutely incredible. Rufus was on point. Charming and engaging. His skills as a musician are unbelievable.

Didn't know him or his music... but he and his opening act [his sister Lucy] were great.

Great show, outdoor seating, awesome setting, fountains in the background...and of course, excellent music!!
