| Description |
"Elina Makropulos' father was a physician, commanded by Rudolf II of Bohemia to devise a potion that would give the ageing emperor another 300 years of life, and ordered to try the potion first on 16 year old Elina. Rudolf himself did not take the potion, how could he know, as Elina points out 300 years later, that it would work?" |
