Castrato is a type of classical male singing where the high pitched voice is produced by castrating the singer before puberty. Alessandro Moreschi, Ave Maria 1902 m.youtube.com/watch?v=KLj…

Caesar as a castrato?

In his opera Giulio Cesare in Egitto, Georg Friedrich Handel wrote the part of Caesar to be played by a male castrato. I understand the purpose of a castrato, but I've never understood why the Caesar character is written this way. In the case of Tolomeo, the role is that of a boy, so it makes sense for a castrato part. But why a castrato for an adult male role? Was it meant to be funny or satirical, or just because?

Why is Julius Caesar an alto castrato in Handel’s Giulia Cesare?

Was listening to Giulio Cesare and was surprised that Caesar sang in such a high-pitched voice. Seemed pretty out of character so was wondering if I am missing something and what was Handel’s reason for this. (Sorry for the typo in the title)

Ho internet castrato da quasi due settimane, come posso fare?

Venerdì 30 ricevo una mail da cron-job.org (servizio free che va a vedere se sono pingabile ogni 5 minuti e avverte se non lo sono) che mi avverte che non sono raggiungibile. La linea va e viene. C'è la portante, ma non la linea. Posso telefonare (col voip del router isp) ma non è raggiungibile alcun sito internet. Il router a un certo punto, si riavvia e presumo che fa un aggiornamento firmware perché lampeggiano tutte le luci e non è più raggiungibile.

Da quel momento, internet Γ¨ castrato. Quasi tutti i siti hanno una velocitΓ  di download inferiore al megabit, perΓ² netflix Γ¨ velocissimo.

L'upload funziona benissimo a 100 mbit.

PerΓ² se scarico un file a caso da github (quindi, non un sito piccolo), lo scarica a 5 KB/s! (screenshot)

github non va

Giusto per dirvelo, se scrivo "apt update", ci mette letteralmente 3 ore a terminare!

Uno speedtest impostando il server manualmente su fastweb mostra la velocitΓ  di 0.42 (screenshot)

fastweb da fastweb Γ¨ raggiungibile a 0.4 mbps

Mentre lo speedtest che prende il server automatico, sceglie uno della tim che mi satura la linea utilizzando tutta la banda disponibile!!!! (screenshot)

tim genova va a 99.94 su 100....

Ho chiesto a vicini (che quindi usano la stessa centralina) e la situazione Γ¨ analoga anche a loro. Un vicino con la TIM non si Γ¨ accorto di nulla perchΓ© il suo uso di internet Γ¨ 99% Netflix e 1% PC, e dava la colpa al PC. Un altro vicino con Wind ha lo stesso problema.

Visto che succede a me e a tutti i vicini, ma non succede se mi collego via 4G (sempre stesso operatore) o a casa di un amico a qualche km di distanza, io sto ipotizzando che quando hanno applicato alla centralina e ai router il supporto multicast che serve a dazn tra poche settimane per trasmettere la serie a, hanno sbagliato a impostare qualcosa e viene limitata la banda a tutti i siti tranne netflix e timvision.

Ho chiamato fastweb (dalla mia linea), tim e wind (dai telefoni dei vicini) per fargli aprire un ticket, ma la risposta Γ¨ stata uguale per tutti: "io vedo che lei la linea ce l'ha e si collega a 100 mbit,

TIL that people used to castrate pre-pubescent boys before the 19th century to halt growth in their larynx to make them sound better and to rival Sopranos, Contraltos, etc. Doing this also increased their breathing capacity. This stopped in the late 19th centuries. They were called Castratos. caslabs.case.edu/medren/b…

TIL: Castrato, also called Evirato, male soprano or contralto voice of great range, flexibility, and power, produced as a result of castration before puberty. The castrato voice was introduced in the 16th century, when women were banned from church choirs and the stage. britannica.com/art/castra…

In the opera L'Orfeo, the part of Orpheus is traditionally played by a Castrato

Castrati are male singers who, either due to an endocrinological condition or prepubescent castration, largely retain the vocal range of prepubescence, and the voice develops into adulthood in a unique way.

As the castration of boys is now outlawed, the role of Orpheus now generally goes to women playing men. Orpheus' feminine appearance and voice in Hades appears to be a reference to this.
