Biography
The Konzertvereinigung Wiener Staatsopernchor is an Austrian mixed classical choir formed from members of the Chor der Wiener Staatsoper. It was founded in 1927 by Viktor Maiwald, a chorus member of the Vienna State Opera, to give the ensemble an independent concert presence outside the opera house, similar to the model of the Vienna Philharmonicâs separation from the Vienna State Opera Orchestra. The choir is self-administered and elects a board including a treasurer, managing director, secretary, and executive board, as well as an extended board of voice representatives. Since its founding, it has appointed its own concert directors, including Karl Böhm, Claudio Abbado, and Clemens Krauss. It has performed in concerts, recordings, and television productions, and has participated in Salzburg Festival productions.
