Myrtale, Thaïs Massenet

It is with this opera full of passionate nuances that our Massenet year begins. Few of the scores mix desire and redemption with such ambiguity: in Thaïs, love can only be sacred and salvation unexpected. The scent of scandal that surrounds the story of this courtesan, repented of thanks to a monk who gets lost along the way, contributed to the success of the work. This adaptation of Anatole France's novel triumphed ten years after its creation and still resonates through the famous Meditation of Act II, entrusted to the solo violin. Under the baton of Michel Plasson, connoisseur of French music, Chloé Chaume and André Heyboer will perform Thaïs and Athanaël, tormented and irreconcilable protagonists of the work
