"Dare to come, you who defy Venus!" cries Thaïs, the priestess of Venus, to ascetic monk Athanaël, determined to save her soul by converting her to Christianity. This challenge precipitates the action of Thaïs, Massenet's operatic masterpiece, staged here by Jean-Louis Grinda at the Opéra de Monte-Carlo with Jean-Yves Ossonce conducting!

Athanäel's attempts to save Thaïs from eternal damnation lead him to an unexpected fate as the young priestess, bored with her life of pleasures, aspires to something greater. Convinced by Athanaël's entreaties, she ends up devoting herself to God and dying in a convent—to the great sorrow of Athanaël, who realizes too late his love for her, repudiating his vows and asserting that "nothing is true but life and the love of human beings." Massenet's rich emotional landscape opposes two complex characters with divergent motivations who briefly cross paths on their way to opposite destinies… Celebrated soloists Marina Rebeka and Ludovic Tézier more than do justice to this sublime score, a veritable treasure of French opera.
