Metropolitan Opera Chorus

The Metropolitan Opera Chorus is the powerhouse vocal ensemble behind New York City’s legendary Metropolitan Opera, bringing grand opera to life since the company’s founding in 1883. Known for their precision, dramatic intensity, and sheer versatility, this world-class chorus has backed countless iconic productions—from Verdi’s epic *Aida* to Wagner’s mythic *Lohengrin*—often sharing the stage with opera’s biggest stars. Their recent live recordings, like *Tristan und Isolde* and *Simon Boccanegra*, showcase their ability to adapt to styles ranging from Mozart’s whimsical wit to Strauss’s sparkling comedy. Directed by renowned chorus masters over the decades, they remain a cornerstone of the Met’s immersive storytelling, blending powerhouse group numbers with intimate ensemble moments. Whether they’re conjuring heavenly harmonies or thunderous crowd scenes, the chorus elevates every performance to something truly larger-than-life.
