Te Kōrihi a NZ Opera

Chorus

The spine-tingling power of exceptional voices singing together – that’s the magic created by Te Kōrihi a NZ Opera - The New Zealand Opera Chorus.


Adding a rich layer of vocal elegance to productions and concerts each year

This group of talented singers adds richness and beauty to our main stage opera productions and other major concerts each year. There are three choruses, based in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.

Everyone is welcome to apply – we generally hold rehearsals in the evenings or weekends, so you can attend outside of working hours.

Auditions for our 2024 Season have now been completed, and we will be announcing members soon.
