Founded in 1962, the Choir of the Grand Théâtre de Genève is an ensemble of forty-two professional singers from a wide variety of nationalities.
An essential part of the artistic department of the Grand Théâtre de Genève, the Choir takes part in the productions that contribute to the institution’s renowned reputation. For certain specific productions requiring a larger ensemble, additional professional singers join the group, allowing for flexibility and adaptability according to the program’s demands.
Thanks to the quality of its performances and its dedication, the Choir of the Grand Théâtre is not only recognized for its level of excellence by the press, but its performances are also praised by directors, conductors, and audiences alike. In 2023, the Choir was once again nominated for the Opera Awards.
