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.

How did the classical orchestra change from the Baroque Era?
The orchestra saw a complete upheaval in the Classical period. Here are what I think would be the three most important: Firstly, conductors got off their harpsichords and began conducting in the modern style with a stick. Before that, they simply outlined the tune and held the timing together with a continuo. Next, the instrumentation changed. Recorders fell out of use, being replaced by the modern transverse flute. Clarinets were also first introduced to the orchestra in this time. Finally, the locations and sizes of orchestra began to change. They moved out of courts and private locations where they were restricted in size and grew into much larger orchestras, suited for opera houses and concert halls.

Romantic music immediately followed the Classical era so uses a lot of the same structure and basic harmonic principles, but pushed those principles to create new styles of music.

The symphony orchestra was also greatly expanded during the Romantic era and works became larger and more harmonically challenging.
