From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Matador is a 2007 Danish musical based on the 1978-82 television series of the same name. It was first performed on 10 June 2007 at the Copenhagen Opera House. The production was created by Peter Langdale (producer), Bent Fabricius-Bjerre (composer) with lyrics by Clemens Telling. The story is based on Lise Nørgaard's popular TV series first broadcast in 1978.[1] The production was closely associated with the Danish National Chamber Orchestra.

Fabricius-Bjerre had 30 years earlier written the catchy theme tune for the TV series.

The musical tells the story of a number of families in a small town in Zealand before and during the Second World War and the German occupation of Denmark.[2]
