The Chorus of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, plays a pivotal role in the rich tapestry of operatic performances that grace the stage of one of the world's most renowned opera houses. As an integral component of the Royal Opera, the Chorus brings life to the vast array of operatic works through their vocal power and dramatic presence. Established alongside the Royal Opera after the reconstruction of the Covent Garden Theatre in 1858, the Chorus has been at the heart of performances, contributing to the grandiose and emotive atmosphere that opera demands.

Their repertoire showcases their versatility and breadth, encompassing a broad spectrum of operatic masterpieces. From the ethereal and complex harmonies of Ravel's "Daphnis et Chloé" to the intensity and passion of Verdi's "Un Ballo In Maschera," "Il Trovatore," "Don Carlo," and "La Traviata," the Chorus expertly adapts to the stylistic nuances of each composition. Their recent releases also include magnificent renditions of tragic operas like Bellini's "Norma," Puccini's "Tosca," and Mascagni's "Cavalleria Rusticana," showcasing their ability to evoke deep emotion through powerful choral singing. The Chorus of the Royal Opera House is not just a group of voices; they are storytellers who, through their collective artistry, are key to creating the immersive and transformative experience that is opera.
