Carlo Maria Broschi; known as Farinelli, the most famous
opera singer in the 1700s. He was a singer that was castrated when he was young
in order to preserve his voice. In the video that we saw in class was really
amazing how Farinelli reach the high pitches for long time. It was an important
video for me because not only showed me how young people were castrated in
order to preserve their voice, it also shows the type of stage that were using
at that time.
