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.
