Actress and singer, in her career she joins two big passions: music and theatre.

The theatre Cometa in Rome offered Ottavia Fusco her first opportunity to get herself noticed by the public and the critics with the show Kabaret tedesco Wunderbar, directed by Patrick Rossi-Castaldi.

In 1990 she performed in another show about the French cabaret entitled Le Chat Noir (produced by Nelo Risi), but only in 1991 she played the main character of Tamara, La Femme d'or, inspired by the figure of the Polish painter Tamara De Lempicka (produced by Don Lurio). 

In 1996 the artistic relationship with Andrea Liberovici was born and through it she founded the Compagnia Teatro del Suono. Together with Liberovici she realized many theatre shows, of which she was also the main character, such as Rap (Edoardo Sanguigneti’s pieces), Machbeth Remix (produced by Spoleto Festival 1998), Cleopatra muore (monologue on Vittorio Sgarbi’s pieces) and Meditazione davanti a un Buddha (monologue on Alain Elkann’s pieces).

Between 2002 and 2007 she continued uninterruptedly her theatre activity by taking part in numerous recitals and musical works, together with the big names of Italian theatre: Pierino e il Lupo and La Pisanella (2002), Peccati d’Allegria (2003, with Lina Wertmuller), Lettera al padre (2004), Giuseppina Verdi (2005, written for her by Dacia Maraini), Nella buona e nella cattiva sorte and Piazzale Loreto (2006), Titania la rossa  (2007, by Giorgio Albertazzi). 

In 2009 together with other theatre actors, she was on the stage of the Teatro Stabile in Genoa, where she sang also pieces written by great scholars. In this same year she was one of the character of the last Edoardo Sylos Labini’s theatre show, named Bang! Bang! 

Between 2008 and 2009 Ottavia Fusco was guest in Sanremo Music Festival, where she sang Habanero. Later she recorded her first album Gli anni zero, a musical project which involved some of the most prestigious writers of the Italian culture and show: Aldo Nove, Nanni Balestrini, Umberto Eco, Giorgio Albertazzi, Andrea Pinketts, Dacia Maraini, Federico Moccia, Ennio Cavalli, Romano Battaglia, Edoardo Sanguineti, Lina Wertmuller, Patrizia Cavalli, Magdi Cristiano Allam, Giordano Bruno Guerri, Paola Veneto, Pasquale Squitieri, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Marianne Costa, Cinzia Gangarella. After the release of the CD, “Gli anni zero Tour” began, between 2008 and 2009.

In 2011, at the "Villa Celimontana Festival", Ottavia Fusco presented Imaginaples (Naples meets the world), a two voices concert with Enzo Decaro, arrangements by Cinzia Gangarella (who collaborated also in the CD Gli anni zero), production by Antonio Mastellone and artistic coordination by Riccardo Reim.
