Niccolò Jommelli (
Aversa, 10 de setembre de 1714 -
Napoli, 25 d'agost de 1774) va ser un compositor italià, un dels que va tenir més renom dels molts compositors d'òpera de la seva època. Va estudiar amb el canonge Muzzillo de la
Catedral de San Paolo de la seva ciutat natal Aversa, a Nàpols, amb
Leonardo Leo i
Francesco Feo, al
Conservatori de S. Onofrio i al
Conservatori de la Pietà dei Turchini. A partir del 1736 va ser mestre de capella del marquès d'Avalos, que es va convertir en el seu protector des de l'estrena, al
Teatre Nuovo de Nàpols, de la seva òpera bufa l'
Errore amoroso (1737), a la qual va seguir
Odoardo (1738). L'èxit aconseguit amb aquestes obres va fer que escrivís per a diversos escenaris italians, com els de Roma i Bolonya. A partir del 1741, va ser membre de l'Acadèmia Filharmònica de Venècia, on l'alemany
Johann Adolph Hasse el va nomenar director del Conservatori degli Incurabili (1743-1747). Entre els anys 1748 i 1750 va estar a Viena, on va col·laborar amb
Metastasio i a Roma va ser nomenat mestre de capella adjunt de
Sant Pere. A partir del 1753, va ser mestre de capella del duc de Wurtemberg a la cort de Stuttgart. Durant aquesta època va equilibrar la tradició italiana de l'òpera seriosa amb la tècnica instrumental alemanya i el teatre francès. Durant els seus anys d'activitat a Stuttgart va elevar la qualitat teatral de la ciutat, arribant a ser reconeguda a tot Europa. Durant aquesta època va compondre, entre altres obres,
Fetonte (1753),
Cantone in Utica (1754) i les noves versions de
Enzio (1758) i de
Didone abbandonatta (1763). El 1769 va abandonar la ciutat alemanya i va tornar a Aversa, on va compondre música de cambra i música religiosa, entre la que va destacar un
Miserere. Va morir a Nàpols l'agost del 1774.
