Rufus 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, which blends alt-rock and French song, glossy pop music and even an Agnus Dei into a kaleidoscopic musical trip that gleams and grooves in the world premiere of new symphonic arrangements.

The concert contains language some listeners may find offensive.

Presented by Andrew McGregor, live from the Royal Albert Hall, London.

Broadcast: 5 September 2023
