Swedish term or phrase: De svarta maskerna
De svarta maskerna betecknade den avgjorda framgången och man kan nog våga påstå att det nya skådespelet ej kommer långt efter det förra."

Is there anything idiomatic at the beginning of the sentence? Simply can't get it (mental block tonight)

Appreciate your help!

Explanation:
No, man, I think that these words should be translated directly - "The black masks", nothing special is implied.
