Andrew Synnott's La Cucina (The Kitchen) tells the story of sous chef Bianca, her tyrannous head chef, and the slightly disastrous baking of a cake. In this production of Rossini's Adina, depicting the wedding of the middle-aged Caliph to young Adina, part of the set was a huge wedding cake. The idea was to connect the two productions at last year's Wexford Festival. Rossini wrote Adina after his popular The Barber of Seville and La Cenerentola but it is rarely performed. La Cucina, to a libretto by Rosetta Cucchi, is the first work by a living Irish composer to appear on the festival鈥檚 main stage. Presented by Fiona Talkington.
