The album "Choeurs Dopéra Collection LUnivers De LOpéra" is a stunning collection of some of the most iconic opera choruses from the likes of Giuseppe Verdi, Charles Gounod, Hector Berlioz, Georges Bizet, Richard Wagner, Johann Strauss Jr, Pietro Mascagni, and Giacomo Puccini. The album showcases the power and beauty of opera choruses, with each piece performed by world-class orchestras and choirs.

From the dramatic "Va, pensiero" from Verdi's "Nabucco" to the triumphant "Soldiers' Chorus" from Gounod's "Faust," each piece is a masterpiece of musical storytelling. The album also includes the haunting "Witches' Chorus" from Berlioz's "The Damnation of Faust," the rousing "Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves" from Verdi's "Nabucco," and the lively "Anvil Chorus" from Verdi's "Il Trovatore."

The album also features some lesser-known but equally stunning pieces, such as the beautiful "Humming Chorus" from Puccini's "Madama Butterfly" and the joyful "Chorus of the Wedding Guests" from Mascagni's "Cavalleria Rusticana."
