Oper trifft Musical – die schönsten Chöre

Sometimes an exuberant party, sometimes the voice of reason – but always an accelerator of emotions: with its powerful sound, the choir has a special function on stage. Famous examples from the world of opera include Verdi's »Gefangenenchor« (Prisoners' Chorus) and Wagner's »Matrosenchor« (Sailors' Chorus). But musicals also have a lot to offer in terms of rousing choral parts. The WDR Rundfunkchor and WDR Funkhausorchester present the most beautiful choruses from musicals and operas – from »Nabucco« to »Il Trovatore«, from »Les Misérables« to »The Phantom of the Opera«.
