A golden oldie from 1994, "Farinelli" traces the life and times of 18th-century Italian singer Carlo Broschi (Stefano Dionisi), who was castrated in childhood to preserve his angelic voice and went on to a brilliant career. Carlo's complex relationship with his less talented older brother Ricardo (Enrico Lo Verso) adds extra spice to this operatic extravaganza.
