Thais may not be one of my favorite opera(from the French operas, that goes to Carmen) , but this production is one of the most beautiful Metropolitan Opera productions I have ever seen. Renee Fleming sings and acts very beautifully as the title character, a courtesan Thais (Thais is also the most interesting character in the opera). Thomas Hampson sings and acts very good as Athanael and you can see the chemistry between him and Thais. Sets and costumes in Thais look truly amazing and beautiful, fitting the story. The fimal scene of Thais is emotional and it really hit me. Overall, an amazing production of Thais and one of the best Metropolitan opera production. 10/10.
