just occurred to me that puberty blockers can be used to form a new era of "castrati" singers with 100% less permanent damage to your body. is this ethical? dubiously. is it interesting philosophically? certainly. will it make certain opera enthusiasts begin sobbing uncontrollably? absolutely.

The Last Castrato: "Crucifixus"
Alessandro Moreschi (1858-1922) was an Italian castrato singer of the late 19th century and the only castrato to make solo recordings.
The value of the recording is its uniqueness. The voice is clearly in the soprano range. It is not a great voice, and the technique is either bad or marred by the habits of the time (in particular an abundance of portamento and scoops in the attacks of notes, which can be excruciating). But its timbre is very striking, with the ambiguity that one expects, and it is most intriguing in the high notes.
One should not, however, look at this recording as evidence on the castrati of the 18th century. Moreschi was as far from Farinelli as we are from, say, Rossini. The last castrato to sing on stage, Velutti, had retired 30 years before Moreschi's birth. As his repertoire and technique show, he belongs to the world of late 19th century religious music, not Baroque opera. Whether due to the recording technique or (more likely) to Moreschi's own voice, one learns nothing about the phenomenal strength, agility and holding power that were celebrated qualities of operatic castrati. What remains from this recording is a haunting quality of voice that is clearly unlike anything else.

And we all know Huckleberry Hound has an awful singing voice ... perhaps the most awful this side of Alessandro Moreschi. Florence Foster Jenkins, even!
