Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. For two centuries, the castrati were the darlings of the operatic stage. They enjoyed the adulation of European society, were patronised by royalty and were the pop stars of their era. How did the phenomenon come about? Why were boys deprived of their manhood to satisfy the eccentric taste of a baroque society that demanded that its heroes should sing with female voices? Entertaining, authoritative, as dazzling as its subject, this comprehensive study looks at every aspect of their lives - from their social origins, rigorous training, brilliant careers and their often lonely and poverty-stricken old age. Farinelli, Carestini, Bernardi.the names still hold the glamour that surrounded them and they live again in the page sof this book, as vibrant, fascinating and enigmatic as ever. Illustrated with rare archive paintings and engravings this is a fitting celebration of the artistry of one of the strangest episodes in operatic history. A study of castrati, including castration, the nature of the castrato voice, and the underlying conflicts in these singers adored by Mozart and Casanova alike. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
