Dinner Show in Homage to Rossini - Teatro del Sale, February 8 - Fuori di Taste

On Sunday 8 February, the Marche region will return to the Teatro del Sale in Florence as part of the “Fuori di Taste” programme with a show dedicated to Rossini and a dinner celebrating local food and wine excellence.

The event, organized by LINFA, a Special Agency of the Marche Chamber of Commerce, promoter of 33 food and wine businesses participating in the 18th edition of Taste, will be a tribute to the famous Marche composer Gioacchino Rossini, an iconic figure not only in music but also in gastronomy, of which he was a great admirer and creative interpreter.

Thanks to LINFA and the collaboration with the Teatro del Sale, a magical and iconic space in Florence where stage and cuisine beat in unison, you can experience an engaging, exciting and even fun "Fuori di Taste," full of opera, dialogue and flavors. Rossini, born in the Marche region and a gourmet by vocation, a lover of food and a musical genius, will be the common thread.

Soprano Valentina Corradetti , pianist Massimiliano Caporale , and baritone Giacomo Medici will take to the stage to create a thrilling and entertaining show whose technical rigor and interpretive quality will not only touch the audience's hearts but also bring a smile to their faces, thanks to an elegant and playful tribute to Rossini.

Journalist Leonardo Romanelli will also take the stage in a dialogue between the lyrical notes of Pastiche and the gastronomic suggestions of the talk “Le Marche ed il savoir faire artigiano”.

Guests will be able to interact with a delegation of six entrepreneurs who will be present at the Pastiche Rossiniano representing the Marche collective organized by Linfa for the Marche Chamber of Commerce and the Marche Region, as part of the 2025-2026 agreement and financed by the PR Marche ERDF 2021-2027 Action 1.3.4 "Support interventions for internationalization processes".

The dinner, curated by Teatro del Sale in collaboration with Linfa , will offer a sequence of courses inspired by Rossini's most beloved dishes, made with raw materials from the Marche region, alongside a selection of traditional regional recipes.

The wines on offer, including sparkling wines, whites, and reds, will be a selection of Marche labels curated by Leonardo Romanelli:

The Show “Rossini's Bassoon”

The show will kick off with a fun musical and theatrical performance, where a soprano, a baritone, a pianist, and the actor will guide spectators through an imaginary and surprising landscape.

Among the evening's highlights, the duo "I Gatti di Rossini" will enchant with their performance, followed by the powerful voice of the baritone performing Donizetti's "Udite Udite O Rustici." The soprano, meanwhile, will perform Verdi's "Il Brindisi," creating an atmosphere of celebration and festivity.

The script also includes literary references, including excerpts from Rossini, evoking profound reflections on the pleasures of food and the art of living. The artists will interact with a lavishly laid table, making food the undisputed star of the show.

Between notes of "Opera Buffa" and the famous verses of Anacreon, the audience will be accompanied in a crescendo of emotions that will culminate with the performances of great works such as "Fin Ch'han Dal Vino" by WA Mozart and "Ah! Quel Diner Je Viens De Faire" by J. Offenbach.

The evening's magic will be enriched by a touch of mystery with "Magic Potions," and a tribute to conviviality and gastronomy, masterfully narrated by actors and singers.
