The golden age of castrati, custodians of flawless singing technique and unmatched virtuosity, came to an end in the late eighteenth century. The last great castrato was Giovanni Battista Velluti (1780-1861), for whom composers such as Gioachino Rossini, Giacomo Meyerbeer, Francesco Morlacchi, and Giuseppe Nicolini wrote their most successful operas. With the richness of his embellishments and the expressive power of his singing, Velluti left an indelible mark on the opera seria of the early nineteenth century; all the composers who wrote for his voice were profoundly influenced by him. This project will include some of the greatest scores written by the aforementioned composers, for Velluti.
