Product Description:
Based on a novel by Anatole France, which was itself based upon the life of an historical Thais who lived during the fourth century, THAIS is one of Massenet's most famous operas. This captivating story of a beautiful courtesan torn between spirituality and sensuality has been magnificently brought to life on stage under the direction of Pier Luigi Pizzi, and the title role, sung by Eva Mei, is a captivating interpretation of remarkable depth. Excellent visual quality and a beautiful production combine to enchant viewers with this memorable opera.
