Pageant of the Masters is an annual summer event dedicated to the art of “tableaux vivants” (living pictures). Combining the worlds of art and theater, a dedicated, experienced and talented staff uses hundreds of volunteers to transform paintings, sculptures and other works of art, both classical and contemporary, into life-sized recreations. The nightly presentations are staged in a beautiful, outdoor amphitheater and are accompanied by the music of a full orchestra, as well as by live narration.

The 2009 Pageant of the Masters, called The Muse, explores the nature of artistic inspiration. Nightly performances are at 8:30 pm, July 8 – August 31, 2009, at Irvine Bowl in Laguna Beach, California. Tickets are $20-$100 and also give you unlimited access to The Festival of Arts, California’s premier fine art show.
