Translated by Margaret Crosland. 8vo; original charcoal cloth, lettered in gilt on spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. (x) + 262, incl. index; plates. Occasional fox spot. Very good condition. "The castrati became a legend that still fascinates us today. Thousands flocked to hear and see these singing hybrids - part man,… part woman, part child - who portrayed virile heroes on the operatic stage, their soprano or contralto voices weirdly at variance with their clothes and bearing. Illustrated with photographs and engravings, the book ranges from the glories of patronage and adulation to the darker side of a fashion that exploited the sons of poor families, denied them their manhood and left them, when they were old, to decline into poverty and loneliness. It is a story that will intrigue opera-lovers and general readers alike, superbly told by a writer who has researched his subject with the thoroughness of a true enthusiast.".
