Rufus Wainwright’s eponymous debut album, released in 1998, garnered critical praise and a Juno award, launching him into a multi-faceted career. Over the past two decades, much has happened to the Montreal-bred warbler: his Judy Garland tribute at Carnegie Hall, an experiment­al Shakespear­e album and, most recently, the world premiere of his second opera, Hadrian. For his All These Poses Tour, Wainwright celebrates a 20-year career by going back to his roots, drawing heavily from his ’98 debut and its 2001 follow-up, Poses. In true experiment­al Wainwright fashion, he’ll also take a brief detour to perform a Donald Trump rap.
