Rufus, Martha and Lucy Wainwright to perform at Montreal's Jazz Festival
Rufus brings opera while Martha and Lucy perform a folk-inspired repertoire
It will be a Wainwright family affair at the Montreal International Jazz Festival this year as siblings Rufus, Martha and Lucy will all perform indoor shows.
Rufus, a longtime opera aficionado will be bringing his first opera, Prima Donna, to Montreal. It will be performed on July 2 and again July 3 at Place des Arts' Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier.
In the second half of the show, he will sing his greatest hits along with a symphony orchestra. Wainwright is returning to the Jazzfest after being part of the opening concert at Place des Festivals in 2012.
Half-sisters Martha and Lucy will perform songs from their families' repertoire along with other folk classics like Simon & Garfunkel or Townes Van Zandt.
They perform Wednesday, July 6 through Friday. Tickets to those shows, which will take place at Théâtre du Nouveau Monde, start at $36.50.
