What is another word for castrato?
Pronunciation: [kastɹˈɑːtə͡ʊ] (IPA) 
Castrato referred to a male singer who had been castrated before puberty in order to preserve their singing voice at a high pitch. However, due to the controversy surrounding the practice of castration, the term has become less common today. Instead, words like treble, alto, countertenor, and sopranist are often used as synonyms for the castrato singer. Each of these words refers to individuals with a high singing range and unique vocal abilities. These synonyms may not have the same historical significance as castrato, but they allow us to appreciate the talent and skill of male singers who are able to hit the highest notes with ease.
