**Scottish Opera Chorus Biography**
The Scottish Opera Chorus is the powerhouse vocal ensemble behind Scotland’s national opera company, bringing grand-scale drama and rich harmonies to the stage since the Scottish Opera’s founding in 1962. Known for their versatility, this Glasgow-based chorus tackles everything from baroque gems to modern works, often switching languages and styles with ease. Recent highlights include their lush performances in Emmanuel Chabrier’s rare *Briséïs ou Les amants de Corinthe* and Kurt Weill’s genre-blending *Street Scene*, showcasing their knack for both French romanticism and gritty American opera.
Collaboration is key for this crew—they’ve shared the spotlight with legends like soprano Josephine Barstow, featured in the *Opera Finales* collection. Beyond the spotlight, they’re deeply rooted in Scotland’s cultural scene, popping up in community projects and innovative productions that make opera accessible to all. Whether belting out Wagner or breathing life into forgotten works, the Scottish Opera Chorus remains a cornerstone of the country’s vibrant musical landscape.
