Dear All,

No, we have absolutely no idea what a castrato would
have sounded like, but on a recent BBC discussion, it
was suggested that it may have been something like
Joan Sutherland! Now, that I would have liked to have
heard!

Of course, just hypothesis, but quite a fun one!

Best wishes,


Ian Belsey Voice technician, Bromley, Kent, England
