Laguna Beach for Festival of Arts-Pageant of the Masters...
As birthday gifts for the folks and Steve's brother and his wife, we bought tickets to this year's Pageant of the Masters in Laguna Beach. We brought delicious picnic foods and dined amongst the art while listen to a fantastic jazz band and then delighted in this year's, "Eat, Drink & Be Merry" production. The night could not have been more idyllic!
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.
Some of the most glorious art ever created has eloquently expressed the singular joys of being alive. The 2010 Pageant of the Masters will devote its uniquely theatrical celebration of the art of "living pictures" to a jubilant exploration of our collective capacity for seizing the moment, letting our hair down and raising a heartfelt toast to the good life. From Bacchus to Bourbon Street, from the elegant fetes of 17th century Europe to the flappers of the Jazz Age, Eat, Drink and Be Merry will savor the timeless masterpieces that have captured and enhanced the exhilaration of good times and, even more remarkably, buoyed spirits when times were hard. With its surefire recipe for theatrical fun and unforgettable "living art," the 2010 Pageant promises a memorable feast for the senses.
The last photo is On Viking Expedition by Carl Larsson which was my favorite work. Thought I'd share it with you!
