  • "Spectacle musical enregistré en direct au Metropolitan Opera de New York en 2008. Avec Renée Fleming, Thomas Hampson ; Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, Chorus and Ballet ; Jesús López-Cobos, chef d'orchestre."
  • "When the most voluptuous, sought-after courtesan in the world meets an ascetic monk whose life is devoted to God, you know erotic sparks are going to fly. And when the clash takes place in a glorious, but rarely performed, opera by Massenet, it's a delight to the ear just as much as to the eye. Renée Fleming is every inch the glamorous Thais, swathed in elegant gowns designed by Christian Lacroix. Thomas Hampson is the tortured man of God. This production by John Cox, which premiered in December 2008, brilliantly sets the stage for a confrontation as old as civilization itself."
  • "Renée Fleming triumphs as the glamorous courtesan Thaïs in Massenet's romantic tragedy set in fourth-century Alexandria and the Egyptian desert. The timeless struggle between earthly desire and spiritual redemption finally destroys the resolve of the monk Athanaël (Thomas Hampson), just as the newly penitent Thaïs ascends heavenward. Jesús López Cobos gives a masterly performance of Massenet's sensuous score, with concert master David Chan contributing a ravishing "Méditation"."
  • "Opéra en 3 actes de J.Massenet... Mise en scène de John Cox... Jesus Lopez-Cobos dirige The Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, Chorus and Ballet, ainsi que les interprètes Renée Fleming, Thomas Hampson, Michael Schade... Une production historique, sublimée par R.Fleming, ici dans son rôle de prédilection..."
