A castrato is a male singer who was castrated before puberty to prevent their voice from deepening, allowing them to retain a high-pitched voice with the lung capacity and power of an adult male. This practice was common in the 17th and 18th centuries, particularly in Italian opera, where castrati were celebrated for their exceptional vocal abilities and often cast in prominent roles. The practice has since been abandoned due to its ethical and health implications.
