What role does a chorus play in any opera?
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.

There's an old RCA Victor recording, probably not even in stereo.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed the music and Lorenzo da Ponte was the librettist for the opera Cosi fan tutte (note the spelling of the last word :)
The title means something like "That's what they all do" where the "they" is feminine (that's why the word needs the "e" ending rather than the "i", which would be masculine). Thus, "That's what all women do" :)
