Archived: This event was in 2008.
Manchester International Festival scores an extraordinary coup with the international premiere of Rufus Wainwright’s first opera.
Rufus Wainwright is a true maverick. Lauded as one of the most exceptional singer-songwriters of his generation, he embraces everything from rock to Verdi in his music. Now he is completing work on Prima Donna, an opera about a prima donna who falls in love with a journalist as she nervously preparing for her big comeback.
The opera will premiere at the second Manchester International Festival. Following on from the legacy of Damon Albarn’s incredible Monkey: Journey to the West, Prima Donna is already billed as the highlight of the festival.
