At the castle an attack on Gustav, the king, is planned. But he ignores the warnings about a conspiracy. The king is possessed by a desperate and destructive passion to Amelia, the wife of his adviser and friend Anckarström. With the threat of death hanging over his head he goes to meet his beloved. In a cold and dark wintery Sweden a masquerade filled with betrayal, political intrigue and a yearning for something completely different takes place.

Verdi's opera Un ballo in maschera is inspired by a historical event, the murder of our Swedish king Gustav III. The opera was written in the mid-1800s and because of the political atmosphere in Europe and the Italian theater censorship Verdi and his lyricist Somma was forced to rewrite the document and place the opera in Boston. Here the director Tobias Theorell has opted for the Italian version after Scribes' Gustave III ou Le bal Masqué ". But the people around the king has slightly different roles than in reality.
Set have premiered at the Royal Opera in 2012 and became a public and critical success.
