Chór Teatru Wielkiego – Opery Narodowej w Warszawie

In 1965, Warsaw's Teatr Wielki was reopened after the war – soon after, the Warsaw Opera moved into the building. The move gave new impetus to the development of the company. Productions shown on the enormous stage needed a mighty chorus. The ensemble soon earned the reputation of being one of the best of its kind in Poland, mostly tanks to the outstanding vocal sills of its members and their excellent ability to sing together. Over the years, a string of chorus masters dedicated themselves to maintaining high musical standards in the ensemble. They were Józef Bok, Zofia Urbanyi-Świrska, Henryk Wojnarowski, Lech Gorywoda, Jan Szyrocki, and Bogdan Gola. Since the 2016/2017 season, the chorus is led by Mirosław Janowski. The ensemble performs in opera productions, symphony concerts, and has its own concert schedule.
