Rufus Wainwright Brings 'Robe Recitals' to Fans on Lockdown
Despite canceled tour dates and a delayed album release, Rufus Wainwright is still working hard in lockdown. Every morning, he takes to his piano at home in Los Angeles for what he has coined his “Robe Recitals,” or “Quarantunes,” where he performs a track from his extensive back catalogue — in a bathrobe — on Instagram.“Even before this pandemic, I would practice every morning in my bathrobe,” smiled Wainwright, speaking before a session earlier this month, adding that the robe was a necessary addition.
