Chorus

The chorus of Opera Carlo Felice was born in 1828, the same year of the inauguration of the theatre. In the following 170 years, the vocal ensemble has acquired considerable relevance at a national level.

In addition to the interpretation of the lyric repertoire from the Baroque to the contemporaneity, deeply rooted in the operatic activity of the Theatre, the chorus of Opera Carlo Felice has been exploring and performing medieval and Renaissance polyphonic forms, the Baroque and classical choral repertoire, the great classical, romantic and late romantic symphonic-choral compositions up to the multitude of musical expressions from the twentieth century..

The artistic experience of the vocal ensemble has developed with the fundamental contribution of prestigious masters who, since its establishment, have been gradually and constantly refining its qualitative features.

In particular: Lido Nistri, Leone Magiera, Bruno Pizzi, Tullio Boni, Adolfo Fanfani, Ferruccio Lozer, Dante Ghersi, Marco Faelli, Gianfranco Cosmi, Fulvio Angius, Fulvio Fogliazza; and more recently: Ciro Visco, Giovanni Andreoli, Lorenzo Fratini, Marco Balderi, Pablo Assante and Franco Sebastiani. 

Also, it’s worth remembering the significant collaborations with the great conductors: Mstislav Rostropovič, Giannandrea Gavazzeni, Spiros Argiris, Peter Maag, Gary Bertini, Antonio Pappano, Yuri Ahronovitch, Christian Thielemann, Daniel Oren, Bruno Bartoletti, Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, Nello Santi, Lorin Maazel, Bruno Campanella, Nicola Luisotti, Donato Renzetti, Gianluigi Gelmetti, Michel Plasson and Fabio Luisi.
