i do love countertenor very much. And about castrato, of course you will never find something like that anymore in this mundane world. I think castrato is a sacred, divine thing, a sacrifice for divinity. i dont think that it has any relationship to the sex discrimination, i think it's just a matter of tradition and the beauty itself. I really disagree with those who thinks that countertenor is silly or funny, only for gay, an example of female discrimination, and many other unprovable subjective opinion.
