The Angel of Rome
Alessandro Moreschi was the last castrato and died in Rome in 1922. He sang as a soloist in the Vatican Choir and at all the important social and state functions. Neville Watchurst's play uncovers the triumph and the sadness of this short and unusual career.
Choir boys Jonathan Rudoe and Daniel Ison.
Director Sue Wilson. Stereo
