Basic Info| Name: | Guido |
|---|---|
| Location: | Italy |
BioGuido Maffeo is from Anne Rice's Cry to Heaven, and is used in the community desperatefans.
Alessandro Moreschi was the only castrato to ever be recorded, as the practise of castration for musical purposes has since been outlawed, however, in Guido Maffeo's time, diring the eighteenth century, it was very common for this. Guido Maffeo was castrated when he was six years old and sent to study with the finest singing masters in Naples (Anne Rice, Cry to Heaven). He was the star soprano until he was eighteen and he lost his voice forever. He still teaches singing at the conservatorio where he studied as one of the finest, yet least compassionate, Maestros of his time.
