The Last Castrato: Arias for Velluti
Giovanni Battista Velluti was the last heir of the great Italian castrati. His exceptional voice, both powerful and agile, and his impressive vocal mastery opened the doors to the most prestigious opera houses in Europe. Franco Fagioli immerses himself in Velluti’s theatricality to recreate the full extent of his genius, and gives a superb performance of his most famous roles, accompanied by the Orchestre de l’Opéra Royal de Versailles.
