Biography

Carolina Uccelli (Pazzini) was born in Florence and made her debut as a composer with the performance of the sacred opera Saul at the Teatro della Pergola on 21 June 1830. Uccelli wrote both libretto and music for the opera. A two-act melodrama Anna di Resburo with libretto by Gaetano Rossi was performed in Naples in 1832. The overture of her opera Eufemio da Messina was performed in Milan in 1833.

Uccelli's husband died in 1843, and she moved to Paris with her daughter Giulia. The two women performed concert tours in Belgium, the Netherlands and Switzerland. Uccelli died in Paris in 1885.
