Yes! Check out the 5-part (3 women, two men) ensembles in Sondheim's Little Night Music. You'll need to get hold of a piano-vocal score. You may also want to look at some of Sondheim's other intricate ensemble pieces, from the piano-vocal scores of "Into the Woods" and "Sweeney Todd".
And there's always the 5-part (SSATB) Brahms Liebeslieder Waltzes. It's not opera, but it's a lot of fun to sing, and you can do stuff with the texts. And for a real challenge, check out the Menotti SSATB, a capella theater work (chorus and dancers), The Unicorn, the Gorgon and the Manticore.
