The Chor der Bayerischen Staatsoper München, or the Bavarian State Opera Chorus in English, is the distinguished choir associated with the Bavarian State Opera based in Munich, Germany. Recognized for their versatile and passionate renditions of operatic compositions, the choir plays an integral role in the State Opera's acclaimed productions. With a history closely tied to one of the world's leading opera houses, the choir boasts an extensive repertoire, ranging from classic works to contemporary pieces.

In their recent releases, the choir has demonstrated their exceptional skill and depth in performance. "Donizetti: Don Pasquale (Live)" captures the vivacity and wit of Donizetti's comic opera, while their rendering of "Tchaikovsky: Eugene Onegin, Op. 24 - Highlights (Sung in German)" brings a unique linguistic twist to the Russian masterpiece, offering listeners a chance to experience Tchaikovsky's melancholic melodies and rich vocal textures in an alternative linguistic context. The choir also takes on the monumental task of conveying the moral and emotional weight of Beethoven's only opera in "Beethoven: Fidelio Op. 72 (Hans Knappertsbusch - The Opera Edition: Volume 1)," adding to a long tradition of powerful performances that continue to resonate with audiences around the globe. With a commitment to preserving operatic heritage and a continuous pursuit of excellence, the Chor der Bayerischen Staatsoper München stands as a beacon of choral brilliance within the classical music community.
