The Opera Society of Hong Kong was established in 1992 by a group of dedicated singers. The Society has since fulfilled its mission to actively promote western opera, operetta and vocal music in the community in Hong Kong, while maintaining an outstanding standard of performance. The Opera Society Chorus has been instrumental in enriching the cultural life of the community by performing a broad range of repertoire.

With the vision of keeping abreast with world-renowned choruses, the Chorus strives to attain a professional standard. Under the direction of Raymond Fu, Chairman of the Society and Chorusmaster, the Chorus has achieved a consistently high standard of performance and was described as  "Heavenly choir… the chorus limbers up for St. Matthew Passion, the highlight of RTHK's Easter series of early music...." by the South China Morning Post. The performance of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 at the Radio 4's Grand Millennium Concert was reviewed by the Hong Kong Economic Journal as "... most impressive, first class singing which led to a very satisfying finale of the Concert."  "The Messiah performed by the Chorus was excellent in both vocal technique and interpretation.… A performance of high standard … worthy of big applause."

Since its establishment, the Chorus has performed in operas such as Otello, Rigoletto, La Traviata, Lucia di Lammermoor, Turandot, Aida, La Boheme, Carmen, Tosca, Il Trovatore, Madama Butterfly, Macbeth, and Faust; operettas The Merry Widow and Die Fledermaus; chamber opera Night Banquet; local contemporary operas The Divorce & The Lamp of Everlasting Light etc. In December 1999, invited by the Guangzhou Symphony Orchestra to join their 'Millennium Concerts' in Dongguan and Guangzhou, the Chorus made its highly successful debut in Mainland China. The Opera Society Chorus has also worked with famous orchestras such as St. Martin in the Fields and the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra and performed Beethoven's Ninth Symphony; Prokofiev's Alexander Nevsky, Bach's St. Matthew Passion, Mozart's Requiem, Handel's Messiah, Grieg's Peer Gynt & Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms and the Film and Music project Voices of Light/The Passion of Joan of Arc with the Anonymous 4. The Opera Society Chorus has also been invited to sing at the Opera Hong Kong's Inauguration Fund Raising Gala Concert in October 2003 and opera Samson & Dalilah in 2004.

The Christmas Eve concerts by the Opera Society Chorus - "Messiah in the Park" and the "Season's Greetings in the Park" - presented by RTHK Radio 4 at the Hong Kong Park in 2005 and 2006 have received high acclaims. In May 2002, the Opera Society Chorus recorded the CD "Fruits on the Tree", a collection of choral works by Hong Kong composers (Hugo Productions, ML-W3105).

The Opera Society places an emphasis on nurturing its members, who receive intensive training at rehearsals. Through their participation in opera and other productions, members also increase their understanding of the overall process of musical production and interpretation. In addition, through participating in various master classes with world-renowned soprano Barbara Bonney and conductor Constantine Kitsopoulos and others, members broaden their exposure to operatic and musical training.

The Opera Society engages in charity concerts and events and has co-organized the Rotary RainLily Project Fundraising Concert "From Opera to Musical" at the St. John's Cathedral in May 2007. The Society presented its 15th anniversary concert in November 2007, performing Haydn's Die Schöpfung (The Creation) and singing in German.
