Fabio Campana (14 January 1819 – 2 February 1882) was an Italian composer, opera director, conductor, and singing teacher who composed eight operas which premiered between 1838 and 1869.
He was born in Livorno, the city where his first two operas premiered, but in the early 1850s he settled in London.
There he opened a famous singing school, conducted concerts, and continued his reputation as a prolific and popular composer of art songs and concert arias.
His last opera, Esmeralda, premiered in Saint Petersburg in 1869, followed by London performances in 1870 with Adelina Patti in the title role.
Campana died in London at the age of 63.
Although his operas are no longer performed, his art songs can be heard on several modern recordings.
