For two whole seasons, "Matador Musical" has played to sold-out houses at the Opera House in Copenhagen. In just a few hours, the 85,000 tickets were snapped up, and many were left disappointed. The audience was ecstatic—and the success was a sure thing! And there is really something to look forward to when Danish theater's "happy boy," director Peter Langdal, dazzles us with the familiar Matador universe in a new and modern production that spares no ambition: It doesn't get much more spectacular than this, when the dream team of actors, singers, and dancers are unleashed on the Opera's grand stage in a lively fireworks display, accompanied by Denmark's arguably best band, the Radio Entertainment Orchestra.

It cannot be said that the two actors Kurt Karlsen and Valdemar Hansen are particularly successful. The audience often has to ask them to stop, and financially things are not going well either, so they have to flee from their hotel bills. In a provincial town, Professor Andersen has just died, and when the two actors arrive in town at the same time, they are mistaken for the professor and his assistant and are given accommodation at one of the town's hotels as guests of honor. Then events take a turn for the worse. A bank director, a lawyer, and a contractor are very eager to see the late professor's invention continued, as the formula was lost when the professor died. Who will win in the end? The suspicious businessmen, the two actors, or two young people who love each other? And how many times will bank assistant Johansen lose his job?
