The Laguna Beach Pageant of the Masters and summer have been synonymous since the very first in 1933, celebrating it's 80th year. The Pageant is a 90 minute show where famous paintings and other works of art are recreated with living models. From Michelangelo's marbles to Picasso's cubist paintings, I dare you to distinguish the difference. Set in a lovely outdoor amphitheater setting, the art is accompanied by a professional orchestra, live narration and sophisticated lighting. As a non-profit organization, the models are all volunteers and the Pageant runs for 8 weeks every summer.
The theme of the 2013 Pageant of the Masters is "The Big Picture"! According to the Pageant's website this is going to be a "cinematic spin" on art pieces which inspired legendary filmmakers. The art this year will include The Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo, The Trevi Fountain by Nicola Salva and two pieces by Erte, Queen of the Night and Erte's Goddesses.
I'm going! Are you?
This year the Pageant runs nightly from July 7-August 31, 2013 and tickets can be purchased on their website "Festival Of Arts".
