Have you ever wanted to write a masque? Have you ever wondered about the personal sacrifice that goes into creating a masque masterpiece? Do you even know what a masque is? Join Toronto Masque Theatre for our final salon of the season and learn what really goes on behind the scenes.
Fresh from the triumph of last season's Arlecchino Allegro, Artistic Director Nicholas Dénoument and Prima Ballerina Mina Kalishnikova, from the esteemed Gorgonetrevich Corps de Ballet National, draw on their vast experience to create a masque right before your eyes. The whole thing from scratch: the music, the dance, the scenery, the costumes, the lighting, maybe some poetry. The whole thing.
Right before your eyes. Seriously.
Also on hand to lend assistance will be: Larry Beckwith, aka the maestro; Michele DeBoer, soprano and Lucas Harris, lutenist.
Hosted and sponsored by TMT patrons Walter and Marina Unger, the evening will include light snacks, tea, coffee, and a cash bar.

About Toronto Masque Theatre
Founded in 2003 by Artistic Director Larry Beckwith, Toronto Masque Theatre is one of the only companies in the world devoted to the performance of masque, an art form that integrates elements of music, dance and theatre into a single presentation. Inspired by the rich courtly tradition of the late Renaissance, we seek to reinvent the art form for today's audiences, speaking to contemporary Toronto.
