I hardly know what to make of this. It's an explosion of talent - all of it Italian.
The Castrati were young men, with promising talent as singers, who were castrated before puberty - so their voices remained high - as explained in the referenced Wikipedia entry.
In this video an attractive young woman is the center of attention - and she makes the most of it. The setting is an opera house, with no one in it. And the orchestra is seated on the stage - behind the singer. That allows some innovative camera work.
The real star of the show, however, is the extremely complicated music - that she handles with amazing ease.
