Handel - from the movie Farinelli song "Lascia Ch'io Pianga" (Act II of Handel's opera, "Rinaldo") SYNOPSIS In the 18th century, no man was more famous, more beloved, or more celebrated than the man called Farinelli. The amazing true story of the world famous castrato comes brilliantly to life in a sumptuous and sexy drama of high notes and even higher passions. With all the charisma, talent, drive and success of a modern-day rock star, Farinelli had everything: money, talent, fame, women... and the voice of an angel. "A masterwork!
