The libretto, in the character list, mentions 6 roles but no chorus, although the libretto later mentions "Chor". However, this can sometimes be used to mean all of the soloists singing together. The addition of "(af alle)" next to "Chor" would seem to indicate this kind of usage, thus this is tagged only for the solo roles and orchestra.
