Italian soprano Elena Mauti Nunziata was born in Palma Campania, Naples on 28 August 1946. She studied voice in Naples at the Conservatorio San Pietro a Majella and then was trained by Gina Cigna and Ines Alfani Tellini at the Teatro Lirico Sperimentale in Palermo.
Her first success on stage was in Palermo, as Elvira in I puritani, and she went on to sing a range of roles, mostly in nineteenth and twentieth century Italian opera, in France, Germany, Italy, Monaco, Spain and in the USA.
Elena Mauti Nunziata lived in Monaco from the late 1970s, retired in 1994 with her voice still in good condition, and she died in Monte Carlo, Monaco on 16 July 2024, aged seventy-seven.
