A world premiere by Jacqueline Kornmüller. Milena Michiko Flašar answers Johann Strauss’ letters to Olga Smirnitskaya, with music by Johanna Doderer and Johann Strauss.

Very little would be known about Johann Strauss’ infatuation with the young composer Olga Smirnitskaya if it weren’t for his 100 passionate love letters and an unusual waltz with covert allusions to the clandestine love affair between Olga and Johann.
