Viktoria, a middle-aged opera singer living in 1800s Amsterdam, is writing a letter to her old friend, Eliseo, from her days in the Viennese opera. Twenty-four years prior, Eliseo’s composer boyfriend, Ludwig, died, leaving behind a piano piece that he’d dedicated to Eliseo. Eliseo gave the only copy of the piece to Viktoria, whose brother was a publisher, to try to publish, but said brother lost the piece. Now, Viktoria is writing to Eliseo, who she has lost touch with over the years, to tell him that the piece has recently been found and successfully published… but with an interesting error. Excerpted from the short play "Fur Eliseo" but can also be performed on its own as a one-woman short piece.
