@andrika1990 No one knows! No recordings (of course)! It's thought that they must have, considering a lot of the music used in this film was drafted from actual manuscripts/scores from the time and research done on music written for castrati. It would be amazing to hear someone actually do that though! (without the castration part!)
Love the music, but the direction is not quite right. >People then did not applaud in this way. The women and sometimes men had fans which they sort of beat against their free hand.
The conductor is always playing the ham in these scenes. A bit of restraint would have served the center of the film better.

Does anybody know if the harpsichord part is improvised or taken from a real piece? It sounds like it could be a charming piece.

women were not allowed to sing or act, let alone wear men's clothes. Italy at this time was very macho.
