ULaura Chinti Montalan wazalelwa eParis ngo-1801. Kusukela eneminyaka engu-7 waqala ukufunda umculo eParis Conservatory noGiulio Marco Bordogni. Ubuye wafunda nomdlali we-contrabass weGrand Opera kanye ne-oganist uChenier. Kamuva (kusukela ngo-1816) wathatha izifundo ku-Angelica Catalani odumile, ophethe i-Parisian "Italien Theatre". Kule thiyetha, umculi wenza i-debut yakhe ngo-1818, kakade ngaphansi kwesibongo sesiNtaliyane uChinti, ku-opera ethi The Rare Thing kaMartin y Soler. Impumelelo yokuqala yafika kumculi ngo-1819 (Cherubino eLe nozze di Figaro). Ngo-1822 uLaura wenza eLondon (ngaphandle kwempumelelo enkulu). Ukuhlangana kobuciko noRossini kwenzeka ngo-1825, lapho uCinti ecula ingxenye ye-Countess Folleville ku-premiere yomhlaba ye-Journey to Reims e-Théâtre-Italiane, leyo opera eneshwa nengaphumeleli enikezelwe ekugcotshweni kukaCharles X eReims, iningi lamaculo. imiculo okwasetshenziswa i-Italian enkulu kamuva ku-The Comte Ory. Ngo-1826, umculi waba soloist at the Grand Opera (debut in Spontini sika Fernand Cortes), lapho wenza kuze 1835 (nge ikhefu ngo 1828-1829, lapho umculi wacula e Brussels). Ngonyaka wokuqala, yena, kanye noRossini, babelindele impumelelo yokunqoba ku-opera ethi The Siege of Corinth (1826, ebukeziwe kaMohammed II), lapho uLaura ecula khona iPamirs. Indima ye-Neocles yadlalwa ngu-Adolf Nurri, kamuva owaba umlingani wakhe ohlala njalo (ngesikhathi sethu, le ngxenye ivame ukuphathiswa i-mezzo-soprano). Impumelelo yaqhubeka ngo-1827 emcimbini kaMose noFaro (inguqulo yesiFulentshi kaMose eGibhithe). Ngemva konyaka, ukunqoba okusha - i-premiere yomhlaba wonke ethi "Comte Ory", ebhalwe nguRossini ngokubambisana no-Eugene Scribe. I-duet ka-Chinti (u-Adel) kanye no-Nurri (i-Ori) yenza umbono ongacimeki, njenge-opera ngokwayo, ubuhle nokucwengwa kwezingoma zayo akunakulinganiswa ngokweqile.

Kuwo wonke unyaka olandelayo, uRossini uqamba ngentshiseko ethi “William Tell”. I-premiere yahlehliswa izikhathi eziningana, kuhlanganise nokuthi uLaura, owashada nomculi odumile uVincent Charles Damoreau (1828-1793) ngo-1863, wayelindele ingane. Amaphephandaba aseParis abhala ngalokhu ngesici esiwubuchwephesha sangaleso sikhathi: “ukuba inkosikazi esemthethweni, u-signora Damoro ngokuzithandela wazifaka engozini ethile engokomthetho, ubude bayo obunganqunywa ngokunembile impela.” Imizamo yokuvala isikhala somculi igcine ingaphumelelanga. Kokubili umphakathi nomqambi babefuna ukubona uLaura kuphela, manje osephenduke uChinti-Damoro.

Ekugcineni, ngo-August 3, 1829, kwaba nomboniso wokuqala kaWilliam Tell. URossini ubenebhadi ngokuphindaphindiwe ngama-premiere, waze wathanda nokuncokola ukuthi kungaba kuhle ukucabangela ukusebenza kwesibili njenge-premiere. Kodwa lapha yonke into yayiyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu. Izithameli bezingakakulungeli ukuqamba okusha. Imibala yakhe emisha nedrama ayizange iqondwe, naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi umsebenzi waziswa kakhulu emibuthanweni yobuciko bezobuchwepheshe. Nokho, abadlali abacula ngabodwana (uChinti-Damoro njengoMatilda, uNurri njengo-Arnold, ibhesi edumile uNicola-Prosper Levasseur njengoWalter Fürst nabanye) bamkelwe kahle kakhulu.

UWilliam Tell kwaba umsebenzi wokugcina kaRossini wethiyetha. Phakathi naleso sikhathi, umsebenzi kaLaura wakhula ngokushesha. Ngo-1831, wenza umbukiso wokuqala ka-Meyerbeer u-Robert the Devil (ingxenye ka-Isabella), wacula kuma-opera ka-Weber, uCherubini nabanye. Ngo-1833, uLaura wavakashela eLondon okwesibili, kulokhu ngempumelelo enkulu. Ngo-1836-1843 uChinti-Damoro wayecula yedwa e-Opera Comique. Lapha ubamba iqhaza kuma-premiere amaningi ka-Aubert, phakathi kwawo - "The Black Domino" (1837, ingxenye ka-Angela).

Ngo-1943, umculi ushiya isiteji, kodwa uyaqhubeka nokwenza amakhonsathi. Ngo-1844 wavakashela e-United States (ekanye nomdlali wevayolini waseBelgium u-AJ Artaud), ngo-1846 washayelwa ihlombe yiSt.

UChinti-Damoro waziwa nangokuthi uthisha wezwi. Wafundisa eParis Conservatoire (1836-1854). Umbhali wenani lezincwadi zendlela yokusebenza kanye nethiyori yokucula.

Ngokusho kwabaphila ngaleso sikhathi, uCinti-Damoro wahlanganisa ngokuvumelana ukunotha kwesikole samazwi saseFrance kanye nenqubo yase-Italy ye-virtuoso kwezobuciko bakhe. Impumelelo yakhe yayigcwele yonke indawo. Ungene emlandweni we-opera njengomculi ovelele wengxenye yokuqala yekhulu le-1.
