METROPOLITAN OPERA CHORUS ARTISTS
HAILED AS THE BEST CHORUS IN THE WORLD
The Met Chorus Artists represent the collective voice of the Metropolitan Opera Chorus, a company of 75 full-time singers. As the only full-time opera chorus in the United States, we bring world-class artistry to the Met stage—performing in multiple languages and embodying a wide range of characters across centuries of repertoire, often all within the span of a single week.
With more than 200 performances each season, our unified voices provide a powerful, dynamic foundation for the storytelling that unfolds in every Met Opera production. This platform offers a closer look at the individuals behind the sound—the artists whose work helps bring each production vividly to life.
MET CHORUS ARTISTS: EVENTS

In his honor, we will present Opera Classics & Cowboy Songs to fondly remember and celebrate our friend and yours.
