Earthly desire or spiritual conviction? A devout monk seeks to convert an alluring courtesan, but realizes too late that he is driven by lust and not religion. She finds redemption. He does not.

Maryland Lyric Opera presents Massenet's rarely staged, intoxicating masterpiece Thaïs. Sarah Joy Miller, a rising American soprano who made her Metropolitan Opera debut last season, sings the iconic title role. Louis Otey co-stars as Athanaël. MDLO Young Artist Institute alumni round out the cast. MDLO Music Director Louis Salemno conducts and Claudia Zahn directs this new production, in collaboration with scenic and lighting designer Harry Feiner.
