Thais

Thais: An Opera, In Three Acts And Seven Scenes (1907) is a musical composition by French composer Louis Gallet. The opera is based on the novel Thais by Anatole France, which tells the story of a courtesan in ancient Egypt who is converted to Christianity by a monk named Athanael. The opera is divided into three acts and seven scenes, with each scene depicting a different aspect of the story. The music is a mix of classical and romantic styles, with lush orchestration and soaring vocal lines. The opera is known for its beautiful arias and duets, as well as its dramatic plot twists and emotional intensity. Thais has been performed in opera houses around the world and remains a popular work in the operatic repertoire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
