Long ago in Ancient Greece, the monk Athanaël resolves to convert the seductive Thaïs to a life of piety. After first mocking his conversion attempt, she meditates and determines to follow him, despite the violent crowds who try to stop her. As Thaïs enters the convent and her new life, Athanaël recognizes that he loves her desperately—but it may be too late for them. With an opulent set, shimmering costumes, and artists from Repertory Dance Theatre joining on stage, this lavish production is a feast for the senses.
