About this listen
In this intimate episode of Stories to Tell, Richard Marx sits down with the incomparable Rufus Wainwright for a conversation that spans decades of music, art, and reinvention. From growing up in a legendary musical family to becoming one of the first openly gay male artists signed to a major label, Rufus shares his journey with wit and warmth. The two dive deep into his genre-crossing career touching on his haunting Dream Requiem, upcoming musical Opening Night, and even his operatic work for King Charles. They also reflect on family legacy, the surrealism of success, and finding space to rest in a whirlwind of creativity. Richard's wife Daisy even makes a cameo.....well, in spirit......thanks to her lifelong love of Rufus' live performances. Pour a drink (virgin or otherwise) and enjoy a beautifully candid episode filled with laughter, insight, and artistic truth.
