East to Edinburgh: the Judgment of Paris July 23, 2008

Inspired by the Greek myth 'The Judgment of Paris', in which the first ever beauty contest occurred, this epic story of lust, love and tragedy illustrates the events that lead to Paris' fateful decision to award Aphrodite the golden apple in exchange for Helen of Troy, history's first "blond bombshell". Offenbach's comic opera 'La Belle Helene' adds tantalizing humorous interludes to this mash-up of classic, contemporary, historical and pop art.
