The Dallas Opera Chorus
It is widely acknowledged that one of the principal assets of The Dallas Opera is the outstanding quality of its resident chorus. This diverse ensemble of classically-trained professional singers must also be able to act convincingly onstage, dance, occasionally scale mountains and surmount the many challenges of singing in a wide variety of languages from French to Czech to Russian—and make it appear easy.
