Jeronimus and Leonard have decided that their children should get married, even though they don't even know each other. The old people are all the more angry when they learn that Leander and Leonora have fallen for other partners at a masked ball - at least that's what they think. The prospect of an arranged marriage therefore leads to fierce resistance from those newly in love. In order to force the children to be happy, the parents go to the scene of the action: a comedy house, where they throw themselves into the hustle and bustle. This ends after a few trials and tribulations when the master of ceremonies orders the masks to be removed, heralding the happy ending for everyone involved.

»Maskarade« is based on an eighteenth-century Danish theater comedy by Ludvig Holberg. The composer Carl Nielsen transformed this into a comic opera in 1906, which was initially viewed critically in literary circles. Nevertheless, the play became even more popular in Denmark than Holberg's play. The »Maskarade« is now often referred to as the Danish national opera. The piece has so far remained largely unknown beyond Scandinavian stages - wrongly so, because Nielsen wrote music here that initially appears simple, but underneath the cheerful surface has an amazing deep structure and thus leads far beyond the limits of shallow entertainment theatre.
