Unlike many of his 18th-Century rivals, Caffarelli enjoyed a certain level of privilege, his boyhood musical studies financed by the profits of two vineyards devoted to his tuition by his grandmother. Perhaps most remarkable, especially in comparison with other celebrated castrati who invented elaborate tales of childhood illnesses and unfortunate encounters with unfriendly animals to account for their ‘altered’ states, is the fact that, having been sufficiently impressed by the quality of his puerile voice or convinced thereof by the praise of his tutors, Caffarelli volunteered himself for castration. It is suggested that his most influential teacher, Porpora, with whom Farinelli also studied, was put off by Caffarelli’s arrogance but regarded him as the most talented of his pupils, reputedly having pronounced the castrato the greatest singer in Europe—a sentiment legitimately expressive of Porpora’s esteem for Caffarelli, perhaps, and surely a fine advertisement for his own services as composer and teacher.

Instead, I have preferred to turn the spotlight on the careers of other castrati who are less well known to the general public, as I did for Carestini a few years ago. Since then, having had the opportunity to give concert performances of arias written for Farinelli, I found that they suited me far better than I could have imagined – particu lar ly those written by Nicola Porpora (1686-1768), known in his time not only as a composer, but also as one of the greatest singing teachers. I soon became interested in the master-pupil relationship that could have existed between Porpora and Farinelli. Despite the lack of historical sources, we can presume that Farinelli was still a child when he first met Porpora, and that the composer’s views had a strong bearing on the decision to castrate the young prodigy.

    NEWSLETTER of The American Handel Society Volume XXX, Number 3 Winter 2015 EXHIBITION: “HANDEL: A LIFE WITH FRIENDS” HANDEL & HENDRIX IN LONDON JULY 1, 2015 – JANUARY 10, 2016 The opportunity to curate an exhibit for the Handel House Museum (now re-baptized as Handel & Hendrix in London) gave me a special opportunity to think in a new way about the documents and objects that had played a role in the research for my book George Frideric Handel: A Life with Friends (New York: W. “HANDEL AND HIS EIGHTEENTH- W. Norton, 2014). In the following, I’ve chosen a few CENTURY PERFORMERS” examples from the exhibit to illustrate the kinds of THE HANDEL INSTITUTE discussions and fact-finding that occurred before and after the installation. CONFERENCE, LONDON I would say that the pièce de résistance of the exhibit NOVEMBER 21–23, 2015 is the 1731 painting by William Hogarth of The Wesley Family (with Anne Donnellan) from the Wellington The Handel Institute (the British equivalent of Collection, Stratfield Saye House. This is one of two the AHS) organizes a conference every three years, and objects in the exhibit that I had only seen previously in in late 2015, scholars from across the globe gathered in reproduction, and it is an image of great importance. London for three days of papers and discussion mostly Not only does it show us Donnellan on the brink of song centering on the main theme of the conference “Handel in a domestic setting among her cousin’s family, but it and His Eighteenth-Century Performers.” The first two also introduces us to the extended family of Richard days were hosted by the Foundling Museum (also home Wesley (1690-1758).

  • THE CASTRATO SACRIFICE: WAS IT JUSTIFIED? Jennifer Sowle, B.A
    THE CASTRATO SACRIFICE: WAS IT JUSTIFIED? Jennifer Sowle, B.A. Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 2006 APPROVED: Elizabeth King Dubberly, Major Professor Stephen Dubberly, Committee Member Jeffrey Snider, Committee Member Graham Phipps, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music James C. Scott, Dean of the College of Music Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Sowle, Jennifer, The Castrato Sacrifice: Was it Justified? Master of Arts (Music), August 2006, 65 pages, references, 30 titles. One of the greatest mysteries in the history of music is the castrato singers of the Baroque era. Castration has existed for many thousands of years, but for the first time in history, it was used for artistic purposes. Who were these men who seemingly gave up their masculinity for the sake of music? By examining the time period and circumstances in which these musicians lived, an answer may be found. Exploring the economic, social, and political structure of the 17th and 18th centuries may reveal the mindset behind such a strange yet accepted practice. The in-depth study of their lives and careers will help lift the veil of mystery that surrounds them. Was their physical sacrifice a blessing or a curse? Was it worth it? Copyright 2006 by Jennifer Sowle ii Perhaps the greatest mystery in the history of opera is the Italian castrato singers of the Baroque period. These strange phenomena can more easily be seen as ethereal voices whose mystique cannot be duplicated by any amount of modern training or specialized technique, rather than as human musicians who simply wanted to perform or serve the Church with their unique talent.

  • Cross Gender Roles in Opera
    Boys Will Be Girls, Girls Will Be Boys: Cross Gender Roles in Opera University at Buffalo Music Library Exhibit October 1, 2003-January 9, 2004 An exhibit focusing on the high-voiced male castrato singers and on “pants roles,” in which women sing male roles. Created in conjunction with “Gender Week @ UB” 2003. Curated by Nara Newcomer CASE 1: Castrati : Introduction The opera stage is one place where gender roles have always been blurred, disguised, even switched – possibly multiple times within the course of an opera! Italian composers of seventeenth and eighteenth century opera seria (“serious opera” – as distinguished from comic opera) were especially free in this regard, largely connected with the high-voiced male castrati. Such traditions are not solely confined to that era, however. This exhibit will examine gender roles in opera, focusing on the castrati and upon operatic travesty, specifically upon breeches parts (“pants roles”). The photographs in the section of the exhibit on breeches parts come from the Music Library’s J. Warren Perry Collection of Memorabilia which includes over 2,000 photographs, largely operatic. Many of the photographs bear the singer’s autographs and are inscribed to Dr. Perry. A castrato is a type of high-voiced male singer, produced by castrating young boys with promising voices before they reached puberty. Castrati rose to prominence in the Italian opera seria of the 17th and 18th centuries. They were the prima donnas, even the rock stars, of their day. Somewhat ironically, however, the era of castrati both began and ended in the church. Castrati are known to have existed in Western Europe by the 1550’s and were present for centuries before in the Byzantine church.
