Pageant of the Masters

2006 Pageant of the Masters

Where Art Comes To Life!
July 7th - September 1st, 2006, Gala Benefit Saturday, August 26th, 2006

Each night during the summer season at 8:30 the Festival of Arts presents its most famous attraction, the Pageant of the Masters.

What is it?

Ninety minutes of "living pictures" - incredibly faithful art re-creations of classical and contemporary works with real people posing to look exactly like their counterparts in the original pieces. An outdoor amphitheater, professional orchestra, original score, live narration, intricate sets, sophisticated lighting, expert staff, and hundreds of dedicated volunteers have won recognition for the Pageant as the best presentation of its kind.

MISSION STATEMENT:
Our mission is to promote, produce, and sponsor events and activities that encourage the appreciation, study and performance of the arts.

I wanted to share an alternative outing for those of you who live in the Southern California area. I attend this festival every year and am blown away by it every year. If you've never seen this in person your in for a treat. This years theme is "A Passion for Art"

What mysterious force compels an artist to create a work of lasting beauty and power? Is it romance, love, obsession? The 2006 Pageant of the Masters will explore such intriguing questions in this year's theme, A Passion for Art .

From classical to contemporary, from heart-warming to heart-rending, A Passion for Art will illuminate some of the very personal stories behind a gallery of the world's most moving and memorable artworks.

These delightful images of love and romance will come to life through the Pageant's unique blend of breathtaking theatrical "living pictures", along with music performed by the Pageant's renowned orchestra and live narration.
