Album by Jules Massenet & Beverly Sills & Sherrill Milnes & Nicolai Gedda & The John Alldis Choir & Philharmonia Orchestra & Lorin Maazel

Thaïs is an opera by French composer Jules Massenet, premiered in 1894. The score combines late-Romantic orchestration and lyrical vocal writing with elements of Orientalist exoticism and devotional introspection, representing one of Massenet's mature works that examines the tension between sensuality and spiritual renunciation within the fin de siècle French operatic tradition.
