Farinelli, il castrato (1994)
Relato de la vida de Carlo Broschi, célebre castrado que triunfó en la ópera en el XVIII. Con 32 años y en la cumbre del éxito, Farinelli, artista que en el siglo XVIII ennobleció el arte del canto, se retira misteriosamente para dedicar en exclusividad al rey Felipe V de España su prodigiosa voz. Doce años antes, Farinelli y un virtuoso trompetista miden su destreza musical en una plaza repleta de curiosos. El joven cantante impone con facilidad su voz pura y perfecta. El público, entusiasmado, le aclama. Haendel, el compositor oficial de la corte de Inglaterra, que ha asistido a la representación oculto en su carroza, propone a Farinelli que vaya a Londres. Este encuentro supone el inicio de una relación marcada por el odio y la admiración mutua.
