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.
