The chorus in an Opera serves the same function as a chorus in Classic Greek Dramatic theatre. This is usually a narrative role, to underscore the drama in the story. The difference is that the opera chorus sings, of course. ========== While there are a few operas in which the chorus is an outside narrator and commentator, in most operas the chorus is part of the story, portraying the citizens of a village, or the sailors on the Dutchman's ship, or the followers of a captain, or the maids to Aida, or the friends of Butterfly, or the attendees at Cinderella's ball or Lucia's wedding celebration; you get the picture. They're groups of people, armies, villagers, friends, enemies, in the background, but part of the story.

If you mean the TERM chorus, then there are many different answers.Originally, Chorus was an integral part of Greek theatre, intended to represent the voices of the community in response to the actions of the individual characters on stage. Before Aeschylus, the Chorus was often an almost liturgical voice in a very religious stage in which ritualized actions were likely intended to placate the gods or at least impose some sort of order on an often chaotic world. With Aeschylus, especially in the Oresteia, the Chorus became fragmented into sometimes differing voices, providing a number of responses to what was going on in the dramatic action. Usually, the Chorus was a moral voice.By the time of Shakespeare, the Chorus had become a much more straightforward narrative device, used to summarize the action that was to come so as to prepare the audience for the events, act by act. The famous "O for a muse of fire" Chorus that introduces Henry V sets up the entire plot for the play that follows.
To entertain and to emphasize that the gods rule is the purpose of the exchange between the chorus and the chorus leader in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the chorus and the chorus leader alternate in a way that focuses on key concepts, heightens dramatic impact and increases audience interest. The chorus gives the details of the violent first civil war over the Theban royal succession. The chorus leader mentions how the gods feel and how fate just keeps unfurling according to divine plan.
