The Castrato, Joyce Pool
Passion, Music and Lust in the Italian Renaissance Italy, 1698. Angelo wakes up in a nightmare. As a poor tanner's son, he has been chosen to study singing at the Florence Conservatory, but he did not know that he would be emasculated. His voice will always retain its beautiful sound, but he will never have children or be allowed to marry. In the four years that follow, Angelo grows into a young man with needs like any other. He leads a privileged life as one of the best singers at the Conservatory. And when he performs for the distinguished Prince De' Medici, the gates to a great musical career are thrown wide open. But is this the life he himself chooses? And will he ever be able to love again if he surrenders himself to the prince's whims?
