General Horne



No offense to Bartoli, but we older folks had our own pseudo castrato in the magnificent Marilyn Horne. She performed Vivaldi's Orlando Furioso in San Francisco, too, where this film is from.  I was there.

She balanced her voice in her throat with such precision that she could do virtually anything with it.

The acting in this clip is astoundingly comical.
