A New Mapping Of Castrato Afterlives In Modern Romearound 1830, Opera Houses Stopped Using Castrati, And Rome And The Vatican Became Home To Their Glorious Singing, Engineered By Surgery And Intensive Vocal Training. Castrati Were Long Mired In Secrecy, Obfuscations, And Lies About Their Origin And Conditions, Not Least The Last Of Them, Alessandro Moreschi. Musicologist Martha Feldman Declines To Accept These DeepSeated Mysteries And Concealments. After A Decade And More Of Digging Through Archives And Family Histories Comes Her Exciting Transdisciplinary And QuasiCinematic Account Of Moreschi, Whose Recordings Preserve The Only Sonic Trace Of A Solo Castrato.Yet MoreschiS Story Extends Far Beyond Him. It Opens Up Intrigues, Politics, And Histories Of The Vatican, Everyday Histories Of Nineteenth And TwentiethCentury Rome, The World Of Roman Opera, The CityS Unique Mlange Of Sacred And Vernacular Tropes, And Representations Of Rome By Iconic Film Director Federico Fellini. Moreschi And Fellini Turn Out To Have Been Related By Marriage, But Also To Share Synergies Grounded In RomeS Persistent Inclination To Vernacularize The Sacred. Far From Telling Of One Anomalous Figure, FeldmanS Gripping History Convinces Readers That Moreschi, Like Fellini, Can Be Read As An Improbable Index Of Roman Consciousness, Both During His Own Life And Well Beyond.
