INCLUDE CLOSE TO 100 MUSICIANS
Depending on the piece played, I would say that symphonies would tend to have anything between 60 to 80 players, and late romantic music such as Wagner (especially when he wrote music for 18 anvils, and special instruments such as the "Wagner Tuba") could have anything up to 100-120 players not including singers. Much of this, however, can be left up to the conductor, to decide how many players to select for each part.
