Fiora Corradetti Contino (June 17, 1925 – March 5, 2017) was an American opera conductor and teacher.

[4] Fiora d'Itala Rosa Corradetti was born in 1925 on Long Island in Lynbrook to Italian immigrant parents.

[1] From 1958, she studied conducting at the Conservatoire Americain in Fontainebleau, France, at the École Normale in Paris, and the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in Austria.

[3] In 1998 she made her New York conducting debut with Mascagni's Iris performed by the Teatro Grattacielo at Alice Tully Hall.

Paul Griffiths wrote in The New York Times that her debut was a "luscious and exultant orchestral performance".

[11] She considered Italian verismo opera to be her most favored music to conduct, stating in The New York Times in 2001 that it was "visceral", and she "just knew how to do it".

She had four children; three daughters: Lisa, Adriana, who was at one time principal cellist for the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra,[8] and Francesca), and one son (Frederic).
