An oratorio (. [oraËtÉËrjo]) is a large musical composition for orchestra, choir, and soloists. Like an opera, an oratorio includes the use of a choir, soloists, an ensemble, various distinguishable characters, and arias.However, opera is musical theatre, while oratorio is strictly a concert pieceâthough oratorios are sometimes staged as operas, and operas are sometimes presented in concert form. particularly important difference is in the typical subject matter of the text. Opera tends to deal with history and mythology, including age-old devices of romance, deception, and murder, whereas the plot of an oratorio often deals with sacred topics, making it appropriate for performance in the church.
