{{picture|file=Klimentova-Muromtseva_Mariya.jpg|caption='''Mariya Klimentova-Muromtseva''' (1857-1946), in an 1883 portrait by Ilya Repin''}}
Russian soprano and singing teacher (b. 4/16 January 1857 in Kursk; d. 25 January 1946 in [[Paris]]), born '''''Mariya Nikolayevna Klimentova''''' (Мария Николаевна Климентова), and known after her marriage as '''''Mariya Nikolayevna Klimentova-Muromtseva''''' (Мария Николаевна Климентова-Муромцева), or '''''Maria Mouromtseva'''''.
 
After attending school in Voronezh, Mariya studied singing at the [[Moscow]] Conservatory, where she was also a student in Tchaikovsky's classes on music theory. In 1880, she graduated and made her debut at the Bolshoi Theatre in [[Moscow]] in the role of Margaret in [[Gounod]]'s ''Faust''. She remained at the Bolshoi for eight years, and gained a high reputation as a coloratura soprano. During the 1880s she also performed at the Mariinsky Theatre in [[Saint Petersburg]], and toured at the National Theatre in [[Prague]]. In 1891 she established a school for singers in [[Moscow]].
 
Mariya was the first performer of the roles of Tatyana in ''[[Yevgeny Onegin]]'' in the conservatory students' production of 1879, and of Oksana in '' [[Cherevichki]]'' at the Bolshoi in 1887, and earned much praise from Tchaikovsky.
