The Modern Castrato: Gaetano Guadagni and the Coming of a New Operatic Age
Howard, Patricia (Visiting Research Fellow, Visiting Research Fellow, Open University, Gomshall, UK)
The Modern Castrato: Gaetano Guadagni and the Coming of a New Operatic Age chronicles the career of the most significant castrato of the second half of the eighteenth-century. Guadagni may have been the only singer of the time fully able to understand the demands and opportunities of this reform, as well to possess the intelligence to realize that it suited his skills, limitations and temperament perfectly-making him the first castrato to embrace theconcepts of modern singing.
