Berlin State Opera Chorus

The Berlin State Opera Chorus is the powerhouse vocal ensemble tied to the iconic Staatsoper Berlin, one of Germany's premier opera houses with roots stretching back to the 18th century. Founded as part of the opera company established by Frederick the Great in 1742, this chorus has been belting out everything from Mozart masterpieces to Wagner epics for centuries, bringing depth and drama to countless productions on the Unter den Linden stage. Known for their precision and passion, they've collaborated with legendary conductors and soloists, making them a staple in the world of classical music.

Over the years, the chorus has featured in a ton of recordings, like highlights from Mozart's "Cosi fan tutte" under Otmar Suitner or Paul Dessau's orchestral works, showcasing their versatility in both traditional operas and more modern compositions. Whether they're tackling famous choruses or diving into lesser-known gems like Otto Nicolai's "The Merry Wives of Windsor," these singers keep the spirit of Berlin's opera scene alive and kicking, drawing fans from around the globe to their performances.
