are there any opera songs with a full chorus that backs them up? like 50+ people?

Question

it would be awesome if you could name some songs

Answer 1

You betcha!
Just take a listen to any Verdi opera- there is always a piece for chorus with soloists, and you need at least 50 people to get the sound right.
If your public library has CDs to check out, find the operas: Aida, Nabucco, La Traviata, Otello, Falstaff, La Forza del Destino for starters.
If you want to go father along, check out these German operas as well:
Der Freischutz, by Carl Maria von Weber. Great old fashioned hunting chorus there.
Fidelio, by L.van Beethoven ( his one and only opera) The second act finale has a huge choral scene in it.
Lohengrin and Taannhäuser, by Richard Wagner, call for even larger choruses, and the music will knock your socks off.
For a fairly modern, yet extremely listenable English opera, try Peter Grimes, by Benjamin Britten. The Act I finale has an old folk song setting with 6 soloists and chorus that starts small and builds to a rousing climax.
Keep looking and listening, you'll find hundreds more.

Answer 2

There are lots of chorus parts in operas. There's a whole book of Opera Choruses (edited by John Rutter, a contemporary British composer). Look it up on Amazon.

Answer 3

The most obvious one that springs to mind (because it is the last opera I went to) is the Prisoners' chorus from Fidelio by Beethoven.

Answer 4

The final music I listened to had no refrain. Here's the refrain I am paying attention to now despite the fact that.

Answer 5

Nessum Dorma from Puccini's "Turandot".
Some say it was Pavarotti's signature song, and it was the aria that Paul Potts sang in "Britain's Got Talent," wherein he won the competition.

Answer 6

Lynn has it right - Carl Orff's Carmina Burana is not an opera, it is a 'scenic cantata'.
