Grammy-winning diva Cecilia Bartoli brings her mezzo-soprano talents to a realm of classical music rarely heard (and with good reason) today...baroque arias written specifically for castrati singers. Filmed at the Palace of Caserta near Naples, Bartoli-joined by the period ensemble Il Giardino Armonico and conductor Giovanni Antonini-offers pieces from such composers as Handel, Broschi, Porpora, and others. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Italian; interview; featurette.
