Gabriella Tucci (August 4, 1929) is an Italian operatic soprano, particularly associated with the Italian repertory. Born in Rome, Italy, Tucci trained at the Accademia di Santa Cecilia with Leonardo Filoni, whom she later married. She made her debut at Spoleto, as Leonora in ''La forza del destino'', opposite Beniamino Gigli, in 1951. She then took part in the famous revival of Cherubini's ''Medea'', as Glauce, opposite Maria Callas, in Florence, in 1953. She made her debut at La Scala in Milan in 1959, as Mimi in ''La bohème''. The following year saw her debuts at both the Royal Opera House in London, as ''Aida'', and at the Metropolitan Opera, as Cio-Cio-San in ''Madama Butterfly''. She sang at the Metropolitan Opera until 1972, other roles included: Euridice, Marguerite, Leonora in both ''Il trovatore'' and ''La forza del destino'', Maria Boccanegra/Amelia, Violetta, Aida, Desdemona, Alice Ford, Mimi, etc. Tucci also appeared in Vienna, Berlin, and Buenos Aires. She traveled with the La Scala Opera to Moscow and Tokyo, performances that have been documented in live recordings. A versatile singer and an accomplished actress, Tucci was able to tackle a wide range of roles from bel canto to verismo, singing Donna Elvira in ''Don Giovanni'', Elvira in ''I puritani'', Gilda in ''Rigoletto'', Violetta in ''La traviata'', and Marguerite in ''Faust'', as well as Maddalena in ''Andrea Chénier'' and the title role in ''Tosca''. Tucci made only two commercial recordings, ''Pagliacci'' in 1959, opposite Mario del Monaco, and ''Il trovatore'' in 1964, opposite Franco Corelli, but can be heard in a number of "live" performances, including Cherubini's ''Medea'' and Donizetti's Il Furioso al Isola di Santo Domingo. == Sources == * ''The Metropolitan Opera Encyclopedia'' (Simon and Schuster, New York 1987).
