The Bucharest National Opera Choir is a prestigious vocal ensemble, part of one of the most
important cultural institutions in Romania. It was founded in 1948, after the nationalization of
Romanian theatres and opera houses during the communist period. Since then, the choir has
become an integral part of the Bucharest National Opera and has contributed significantly to
the high-quality musical productions performed in our institution. With a rich history and a
vast repertoire, the choir is an essential pillar in supporting operatic art and opera
performances in Bucharest and Romania. The members of the Bucharest National Opera
Choir are talented artists, known for their exceptional interpretations and their ability to bring
emotion and depth to the characters in famous operas. Among the names that have marked
the work of the Bucharest National Opera Choir are the masters Gheorghe Kulibin – the
founder of the choir and Stelian Olariu – the longest-serving choir conductor.
