Castrato,也叫假声男高音,阉人名伶,阉人歌唱家,原本存在于教堂,是诗班中充当女性不能进入演出时的替代,采用假声演唱,他们的声音气声的成份很高;阉人歌唱家经过长年的训练后,能够用像是男高音一样的歌声,却演唱超过女高音的音域,这也是后者让当时人深感兴奋的原因。他们18世纪达到辉煌,成为一种流行的文化现象,superstar.
Nicholas Clapton是阉人名伶领域的历史学家,他从生物和解剖学的角度研究那些让人惊叹的声音,并且到意大利的博洛利亚去追寻最著名的阉人名伶Farinelli的足迹;
与此同时,美国男性女高音Michael Maniaci(他是男人,但能够演唱超过女高音的音域,所以充当女高音的角色),他活跃在巴洛克古典歌剧领域,在英国首次演出莫扎特的赞美诗Exultate Jubilate。这首乐诗是莫扎特写给当时的阉人伶人Rauzzini的。Michael Maniaci用极高音完美诠释,青春期时他的嗓音所向披靡,不会破音。
有兴趣的可以去古典音乐区《假声男高音的荣耀》看看,那边收录了很多二十世纪后半叶顶尖的假声男高音演唱曲目。

Castrati were the undisputed superstars of 18th-century musical culture, driving crowds wild with their intoxicatingly androgynous virtuoso voices.
Nicholas Clapton, countertenor and castrato historian, analyses the anatomical mysteries of the castrato and the biological implications of castrato. He travels to Bologna, the adopted home of Farinelli, perhaps the most famous castrato.
And for the first time in Britain, American male soprano Michael Maniaci, a young Baroque opera singer whose voice did not break at puberty, performs Mozart's Exultate Jubilate, a piece originally written for castrato Rauzzini.
