That depends on the Opera and the era it was written in. Broadly speaking, a chorus is any substantial group who act more or less as one. They can give the history to an event so the opera does not have to elaborate by showing the event. They are usually set as a group - examples being - Beethoven's Fidelio as the prisoners, Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana as the villagers, Bizet's Carmen as the factory girls etc.

What is the difference between an Opera and a Musical and a play?
Now there's an interesting question. After a little research, I discovered that a play is basically any dramatic composition meant to be performed in a theater, movie, TV, radio, etc. An Opera is, more specifically, a dramatic composition (a play) where music is used predominantly; they're also usually very elaborate. A musical is a play which, unlike an opera, tends to be very lighthearted and not as sophisticated. Another thing we can add is that operas are usually performed live in theaters, while musicals can be live, or movies.
