OMG!!! This is Rachel Griffiths, late of Six Feet Under. I don't know who is actually singing this aria(Google this if you want to find out). Rachel Griffiths is one of the sexiest women alive and a fantastic actress. Definitely not a castrato! I can see why some of you did not recognize her, but DUH. I now absolutely must see this movie.
@sillyboydeux Her friend has died and her last wish was to hear her sing, after she fulfils the wish for her friend she sings at her funeral. Excellent film :)

hmm.. is this rly a women ? isn't this a castrate, dunno... well can't explain the boobs, but she looks so manly in some way.. noticed it immediately.. good voice tho
Yes it is a woman, but there's nothing like a gelding. Find it on the web and see that she has participated in other films. Yes she has a beautiful voice. Thanks for the comment
@bernhardt2 see my comment below. This is RACHEL GRIFFITHS. She is not your typical gorgeous movie star, but she is def. a woman and very sexy. Here she is made up to look a little masculine. People, check Google re. this movie. Jonathan Pryce(Juan Peron in EVITA)stars in this movie as well.
@sillyboydeux The song tells a tragic story (see translation below) ~ hLN Translation in English Oh my dear papa I love him, he is handsome, handsome I want to go to Porta Rossa to buy the ring! Yes, yes, I want to go there! And if my love were in vain, I would go to the Ponte Vecchio and throw myself in the Arno! I am being consumed by the torment! Oh God, I'd like to die! Papa, have pity, have pity! Papa, have pity, have pity! (From wikipedia: ie. search for "O mio babbino caro")
@hln63 Actually, this is not at all true, you are taking the words out of context. The "song" is actually an aria from a COMIC(!) opera Gianni Schicchi by Giacomo Puccini. The girl, Lauretta, may be sincere or she may be manipulating her daddy into helping her, but what she has no intention to throw herself into the river. She is not asking for permission, she wants her daddy to agree to help the boy's parents get the inheritance. This is in context: /watch?v=QXV-SsMgSOo
The song being sung at the graveside service has nothing to do with the funeral, it has to do with the ralationships between those who are standing around the grave and the relationships between the deseased and thhose whom you are observing as the camera pans out around. The movie is also about the choices we make in life and how we battle with the implications of the decisions have made on our lives
@sillyboydeux because the girl who died had asked her to do it and she sang it, but her voice wasnt trained well..and i guess now that she got better the girl died and now she sings it....
I love the scene when she sing on the top of her dad's truck at the window of her dying fiend and than when she sings at the funeral you can hear the difference in the quality of her voice. Great movie and her singing.
@sillyboydeux Her friend Bethan wanted to hear her sing this song as her dying wish, she did this after overcoming a crisis of confidence, the scene leading up to it along with this funeral scene is very powerfull and touching. it's a great film.
@ausspan Oh for heaven say, Lauretta has always had zero intention to throw herself into the river. I don't know about this movie, but the aria itself comes from the COMIC OPERA! Why do people guess instead of simply reading the plot of Gianni Schicchi?
that's not her singing,but well,she is on e of the best imitations I've seen,I mean,the muscles in her neck showed kind of a pressure like when singing opera...that movie was weird haha
Awesome singing and a brilliant film.
