As I was sitting in the cool air, waiting for the 2010 Pageant of the Masters to begin, I felt at peace with the world.
I watched the wealthy and artistic of the world filing in around me, and I was appreciative.
Appreciative until the performance began. Then I was blown away.
My wife, Susan, commented to me, “I think this might be the best ever.”
I am in no position to pass such judgments. We have only lived in this area for ten years. But from where I sat, I had never seen or experienced anything like it.
The Pageant of the Masters has become a true multimedia experience. As the flawless orchestra struck each note, reproduced in perfect stereo surrounding me, photos and videos transported me on a journey to incredible living reproductions of famous oils, watercolors, sculptures and castings. This year we even were treated to a Mardi Gras parade and salute to New Orleans!
And I really came to appreciate narrator Skip Connover.
But I am not going to tell you any more.
Go.
If you went last year, go.
If you go every year, go.
If you have never been, go.
And let me know if it is the best ever.
