Carlo Broschi was a famous castrato who triumphed in 18th century opera. At 32 years old and at the peak of success, Farinelli mysteriously retired to dedicate his prodigious voice exclusively to King Felipe V of Spain. Twelve years earlier, Farinelli and a virtuoso trumpeter measure their musical prowess in a square full of curious onlookers. The young singer easily imposes his pure and perfect voice. The public, enthusiastic, cheers him. Handel, the official composer of the court of England, who has attended the performance hidden in his carriage, suggests Farinelli go to London. This meeting marks the beginning of a relationship marked by hatred and mutual admiration.
