"The Last Supper" at the Pageant of the Masters

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.

Pageant of the Masters will pull back the curtain on The Genius.  Acclaimed for its awe-inspiring theatrical celebration of tableaux vivants - "living pictures" - the 2012 Pageant will once again showcase classic works by some of the extraordinary masters who galvanized art history. In addition, it will also explore the fascinating and unpredictable relationship between art and technology with a cavalcade of masterpieces illustrating how breakthroughs in different fields have also altered the path of art history and the way we see the world. From the glories of the Italian Renaissance to the deeply personal imaginings of modern masters, The Genius will fill the Irvine Bowl with breathtaking theatrical recreations of memorable artworks. And, an acknowledged work of genius, Leonardo da Vinci's "The Last Supper," will return as our traditional finale. You won't need to be a rocket scientist to enjoy The Genius, which promises to be fun and inspiring. 

Cost: $90 (Main Tier Center); $50 (Director’s Tier Center).
