Synott: La cucina
Rossini: Adina
Wexford Festival Opera, 24th October 2019
As operatic incarcerations go, being confined to a giant wedding cake isn’t so bad. This is the fate of the heroine in Rossini’s Adina, or at least in Rosetta Cucchi’s tasty production, where the title character is imprisoned in the second tier of a Victoria Sponge harem ahead of her wedding to the Caliph. Konstanze in Mozart’s Seraglio never had it so good.
