Performance NotesRufus Wainwright returns to the stage of the Royal Albert Hall for the second of two Proms featuring the BBC Concert Orchestra. Tonight he brings a reimagining of his 2004 album Want Two, with brand new orchestral arrangements that breathe fresh life into Wainwright’s blend of glossy pop, alt-rock and French song. Don’t miss it.

There was no interval.

The event was broadcast on BBC Radio 3.
