TORONTO.- Lust. Passion. Murder. Many of the greatest artists of the 19th century shared a profound fascination with the theatre and its themes of triumph and destruction, love and despair. This summer, the Art Gallery of Ontario gives centre stage to key artworks by these artists in a major international exhibition titled Drama and Desire: Artists and the Theatre, opening June 19 and continuing through September 26. Drama and Desire: Artists and the Theatre is organized by la Direction des Musées de Marseille, Museo di arte moderna e contemporeanea di Trento e Revereto (MART), and the Art Gallery of Ontario. The AGO is the sole North American venue to host the exhibition. Visit : http://www.ago.net/
