Thaïs

Booking Required

Jules Massenet’s Thaïs is presented in a concert version that highlights the opera’s sensuous lyricism and spiritual conflict between a celebrated courtesan and a rigid ascetic. Conducted by Marc Leroy‑Calatayud, the performance features Amina Edris in the title role, with Lionel Lhote as Athanaël and Pene Pati as Nicias. The Chœur du Grand Théâtre de Genève, the Orchestre de Chambre de Genève and students from the Haute école de musique de Genève–Neuchâtel combine to produce a luminous, intimate reading of this masterpiece of French romanticism.
