That depends on the Opera and the era it was written in. Broadly speaking, a chorus is any substantial group who act more or less as one. They can give the history to an event so the opera does not have to elaborate by showing the event. They are usually set as a group - examples being - Beethoven's Fidelio as the prisoners, Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana as the villagers, Bizet's Carmen as the factory girls etc.
