Description His recreation of Judy Garland's 1961 Carnegie Hall concert first wowed audiences in 2006 and once again in New York and Toronto in 2016. As a gift to the Australian audience he adores, Rufus will perform a set of the most beloved songs from Rufus Does Judy with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra. A new concert version of Prima Donna, his first venture into the world of opera, starring Cindy Sherman, was a highlight of the Avignon and Hong Kong arts festivals this year.
