The Estonian National Opera Chorus has grown from the "Estonia" Society that was established in 1865; since 1907, the chorus is working as a professional chorus. The Opera Chorus is a high-level professional mixed choir consisting of 60 singers. Besides taking part in musical performances, the concert and recording activity also forms a remarkable part of the choir’s work. Over the years, the choir has worked with outstanding musicians: August Topman, Verner Nerep, Tiiu Targama, Kaja Tammemägi, Ira Trilljärv, Uno Järvela, Venno Laul, Peeter Lilje, Anne Dorbek, Jüri Rent and Elmo Tiisvald.
Since 2009, the chief chorus master of the Opera Chorus is Risto Joost and the Chorus Master Heli Jürgenson.
