We’ve shared our experiences at the Utah Opera with you this season and we are excited to share with you that their season finale takes place beginning this weekend with the production of Massenet’s Thaïs.
Long ago in 4th century Egypt, 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, rejecting the luxurious trappings of her former life. 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.
Rating: PG-13 for depictions of slavery and mild sexual content.
Run Time: Approximately 3 hours.
Sung in French with English supertitles.
I’ve been watching and the hype for this show is great. Rumor has it the show is quite extravagant, so we can’t wait to see what is in store.
