Description

The plot is imaginary, and takes place somewhere at the beginning of the next century. The art form ‘opera’ no longer exists and all cultural life has been suspended. The aged diva Donna Amanda lives isolated in an old disused opera-house and her only contact with the outside world is her former agent Edgar, who supplies her with no more than what is absolutely necessary. Donna Amanda is lost in her dreams – memories of better times and hopes for better times in the future. Her hallucinations coalesce into the idea that she must sing before an audience once again.
