Matador Musical poster
NR

Join us for a festive and spectacular revival of Lise Nørgaard's beloved TV series, which unfolds here in a new, lavish, and modern version. 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.
