Miriam Gauci (April 3, 1957) is a Maltese operatic soprano, particularly associated with lyric Italian roles.
Born in Malta, where she began her voice training, she completed her studies in Milan, Italy. After winning a few international prizes, she made her professional debut in Bologna, in Poulenc ‘s La voix humaine, in 1984.
Her well-managed voice, of moderate volume and fine quality, fitted her well for the lyric Italian repertory and she was soon in demand throughout Europe. She made her La Scala debut in 1985, in the role of Prosperina in the first modern revival of Rossi’s Orfeo. In the following season she returned in Die Frau ohne Schatten and La sonnambula. She also appeared in Hamburg, Geneva, and at the Wexford Festival, and sang both Marguerite and Elena in Boito ‘s Mefistofele at the Vienna State Opera. Other roles have included; Anna Bolena and Luisa Miller,
She made her American debut at the Santa Fe Opera in New Mexico, in 1987, as Cio-Cio-San in Madama Butterfly, and later that same year appeared as Mimi in La bohème in Los Angeles, opposite Placido Domingo.
She can be heard in many recordings, notably in Pagliacci, Manon Lescaut, Madama Butterfly, Simon Boccanegra, Otello, La bohème, Tosca, Suor Angelica, Gianni Schicchi, as well as a recital of Italian opera arias.
Her career has continued successfully, and she proved a deeply touching interpreter in certain roles, notably Butterfly and Suor Angelica.
