Castrati - Opera Sopranos
Castrati were male soprano singers who were castrated when they were young before their voices changed. This was practiced primarly in Italy up to about a century ago. They were the top attraction in opera in those days because while they were sopranos like women they had much more powerful voices. To learn more about them check it out on Google.
My question is has anyone heard any shemale who has been castrated who is a professional singer? And...........?
A very good book on this is Anne Rice's Cry to Heaven which I would love to see made into a movie.
