Jonathan Swift whipped up a scandal by amplifying Anastasia Robinson’s accusations that this singer behaved overly sexually when singing opposite her in Attilio Ariosti’s Vespasiano e Artaserse. For 10 points each:
[10h] Name this singer who created the roles of Bertarido in Rodelinda, the title role in Orlando, and a title character who sings the aria “Va tacito e nascosto (“vah TAH-chee-toh ay nah-SCOHSS-toh”).”
ANSWER: Senesino [or Francesco Berardi]
[10m] Those three roles are among the 17 that Senesino premiered in operas by this composer. This composer included the aria “Lascia ch’io pianga” (“LAH-shuh k’yoh p’YAHN-guh”) in his opera Rinaldo.
ANSWER: George Frideric Handel [or Georg Friedrich Händel] (The last role mentioned in the previous part is Giulio Cesare.)
[10e] Like his contemporary Farinelli, Senesino was one of these male singers whose testicles were removed to preserve their prepubescent vocal range.
ANSWER: castrato [or castrati; accept evirato or evirati; prompt on eunuchs]
