Angelo wakes up in a nightmare. It looked like his dream had come true. Even though he is born as a tanner’s son, he is chosen to follow vocal training at the Conservatory in Florence. What he did not know was that he would be emasculated. The setting is Italy, around 1700, a time when the well-off in society bathed in luxury, immersed in gold brocade and burgundy silk, luxuriating in sumptuous meals, and great music. These are the times when a beautiful boy's voice is deemed invaluable and people went as far as they could to make sure it stayed that way. This is the era of the castrati. Castration is irreversible. His voice will never change. He will never have children. He will never get married. But Angelo grows into a young man with needs and desires as every other. He knows that he is leading the life of the privileged. He also knows that he is worth very much to the conservatory because he is the best singer they have. Yet this the life he will choose to lead forever?
