Wiki.:"In Europe, when women were not permitted to sing in church or cathedral choirs in the Roman Catholic Church, boys might be castrated to prevent their voices breaking at puberty and to develop a special high voice. The first documents mentioning castrati are Italian church records from the 1550s.In the late 19th century, the Roman Catholic Church, which had always considered castration to be mutilation of the body and therefore a severe sin, officially condemned the production of castrati"

@LuktarGvendur What makes that soprano voice in male is the lack of testicles (Male Castration or Orchiectomy) before his puberty.
Look at Wikipedia about Castration in Music.
