@J174T Cherubino is a young boy who is in love with the lady for whom he works. This role is traditionally sung by a mezzo soprano. It's called a trouser role because it's a female singing the role of a male. Lately, there have been some countertenors who have sung the role of Cherubino. Therre is also an opera by Massenet called Cherubin, which is about this same character, but is sung in French, instead of Italian.
