This DVD production of Carl Nielsen's treasured opera Maskarade bears witness to the spectacular 2006 staging at the Royal Danish Opera by top director Kasper Bech Holten and chief conductor Michael Schønwandt. The immortal story of old Jeronimus versus the young rebels is given new life in impressive surroundings while still continuing the proud traditions of the Royal Danish Opera, featuring the strongest Maskarade cast in living memory.
