Welcome to episode 5! In this episode we pick up where we left off in episode 4 in our discussion of the Castrati - the rock stars of the 18th century! In part 2, we focus on one of the most famous Castrato singers in history - FARINELLI!

Ep. 5: Castrati - Part 2

Forget what you thought you knew about classical music, and leave your preconceived notions at the door! Co-hosted by Naomi Barrettara, Elspeth Davis, and Kyle Homewood, Opera After Dark is a journey into the surprisingly wild, sometimes sexy, ALWAYS weird world of classical music. Join us as we settle in, open a bottle of wine, get tipsy, and discuss and share the crazy stories and bizarre facts about the “high art” that we love.
