The Nuns' Chorus is an extract from the operetta Casanova by Johann Strauss. Seducteur 'par excellence', soldier, spy, diplomat, writer and adventurer Giacomo Casanova lived in Venice during the 18th century and is known above all for his conquests of women. Worried at the inquiries being made by certain Venetien husbands, he flees the town and we find him in a Bohemian castle where he has been welcomed by the Duke of Waldstein who suggests he should make an inventory of the vast library there. However, our hero is fascinated by his own written works with which he attempts to lure the serving-girl Laura Brock. In this aria and dialogue with the nuns, the soprano cornet tells of the juxtaposition between the devout (chorale) and the attempted seductions of Casanova (waltz).
The German lyrics to the nun's chorus in Casanova, also known as "Meine Lippen, sie küssen so heiß," are: "Meine Lippen, sie küssen so heiß, wie die Liebe, die du mir versprichst. Meine Lippen, sie küssen so heiß, dass ich nie mehr von dir lassen kann." These lyrics convey the passionate and intense feelings of love and desire between the characters in the opera. The chorus is a pivotal moment in the story, showcasing the emotional depth of the characters' relationships.

Julie Andrews and Marni Nixon are famous soprano voices (Maria and one of the nuns from The Sound of Music.)
At the beginning, the nuns think of Maria as a nuisance. They sing a song called "Maria" in which they complain about different things she does, including climbing a tree, ripping her dress, wearing curlers under her habit, singing when she shouldn't be, and being late to everything. They believe she is a nice girl, but that she isn't made out to be a nun. However, they do help her later on by housing her when she runs away, allowing her to get married at the abbey, and hiding her family from the Nazis.
The Nuns' Chorus (O Madonna, auf uns sieh) is from the 1928 operetta "Casanova," which was arranged by Ralph Benatsky (1884-1957) from the music of Johann Strauss Jr.. The Nuns' Chorus itself, according to Andrew Lamb's book "150 Years of Popular Musical Theatre" (p. 227), was adapted from Strauss' operetta "Blindekuh" (1878).

The Nuns' Chorus was composed by Franz von Suppé. It is a well-known piece from his operetta "Boccaccio," which premiered in 1879. The chorus is celebrated for its lively melody and is often performed in concert settings. Suppé was a prominent figure in the 19th-century operetta scene, known for his vibrant and accessible compositions.
