Emilia Cundari (September 7, 1930 – January 6, 2005) was a soprano opera singer who was born in Detroit, Michigan, and raised in Windsor, Ontario.

[5] Cundari made her debut with the New York City Opera in 1953, performing as the Dew Fairy in Hansel and Gretel.

Since that time, an opera about the lives of Cundari and photographer Pat Sturn was produced by cellist Nadine Deleury in 2014.

[12] Four years later, a crowd-funding campaign to add a memorial plaque to the Windsor mausoleum, where Cundari was laid to rest, was launched by soprano Tara Sievers-Hunt.

[1] It resulted in the installation of a bronze plaque featuring roses and crosses at the site of her previously unmarked crypt at Heavenly Rest Cemetery.
