All you want to know about countertenors is here !

Mens who sings in the same range as women provokes a lot of questions, because this high-pitched voice of man seems so supernatural and undefinable.

The confusion of genres and the conflict of the words maintain the mystery and fantasies. Its purity makes it timeless and sexually indefinable. Lots of people cannot imagine or admit that many men have this faculty to be able to sing in the same tessitura as the women. They will be tried to compare the voice of countertenor to that of the children, the women or even the castratoes. But this voice makes left well the male vocal register !
