What is the difference between a chorus and a chorale?

Answer:

Not a great deal - except that in common usage a chorus is usually in an opera and a chorale is usually somewhat religious in nature. They both consist of sopranos, altos, tenors and basses. (although in an operatic context the lower female voices are referred to as mezzo sopranos but again it is just common usage)
