Performer: Rachel Kelly

Rosetta Cucchi, who takes over as Artistic Director at Wexford Festival Opera next season, directs a Rossinian rarity and its newly commissioned "prequel". 

Mezzo-soprano Rachel Kelly and soprano Susanna Hurrell were the eponymous pair and, my, how they chewed the scenery.

Mozart’s early youthful 29th Symphony felt rather misplaced in this otherwise solemn concert from Rafael Payare, Ulster Orchestra and the Belfast Philharmonic Choir.
