Extrachor der Hamburgischen Staatsoper

The Extra Chorus of the Hamburg State Opera consists of about 40 singers who perform part-time in performances of the State Opera. The Extra Chorus thus complements the State Opera Chorus both scenically and vocally in productions that require a very large choral cast. This is often the case with works by Verdi and Wagner. In the 2023/24 season, the Extra Chorus will be in action in productions of Boris Godunov, Don Carlos, Cavalleria rusticana / I Pagliacci and Die Tote Stadt. The Extra Chorus has been musically rehearsed by Christian Günther since 2013.
