Maskerade Playlist
A theatrical, warmly eccentric instrumental journey through Maskerade: operatic overtures and dances evoke the grand, slightly ridiculous bustle of Ankh-Morpork’s Opera House, while quieter piano and strings leave room for Agnes’s search for her place. The mood shifts from comic spectacle to shadowy mystery and back toward the stubborn, practical solidarity of Granny and Nanny.
