Austin Opera Tickets
Secure your tickets to our biggest season in decades. From a world-premiere Spanish/English opera to a Texas exclusive, and the unforgettable music from Massenet's Thaïs and Verdi's La traviata—this season has it all!
Thaïs
Thaïs, an Egyptian courtesan and priestess of Venus whom the Christian monk Athanaël tries to convert to the new faith.
But as she finds her salvation, he becomes obsessed and falls to lust. With Jules Massenet's lush, sweeping score—including the famous "Méditation"—Thaïs is seductive, sumptuous, and anything but predictable.
