Chiral algebra references:
The biblical reference is Beilinson & Drinfeld's book Chiral Algebras. A prepublication version available from the geometric Langlands page.
Gaitsgory's Notes on 2D Conformal Field Theory and String Theory is about chiral algebras.
For a treatment of chiral differential operators, see Arkhipov & Gaitsgory's Differential operators and the loop group via chiral algebras.
Frenkel & Ben-Zvi's book also contains a discussion of chiral and factorization algebras: Vertex Algebras and Algebraic Curves.
