It is the second festival of its kind, and this year one of the many highlights will be ‘Prima Donna’, a world premiere of an opera composed and performed entirely in French by Rufus Wainwright.

The artist’s first ever opera, sung in French, is a portrait of a fading opera singer, set in Paris in 1079.

There will be five performances of Prima Donna at Manchester’s Palace Theatre in 2009: July 10th, 14th, and 17th (in the evening), as well as July 12th and 19th (matinee).
