I was ecxited to see a show that included Farinelli as a character but damn everything in it was so wrong! I do not know what the author thought!

- Farinelli singing “Ombra mai fu” as a child in Naples in a year 1711! An air written for another castrato. Caffarelli in 1737 by Handel. Carlo Broschi never sang Handel (at least not from free will!)

- Farinelli having chest hair. A castrato! Chest hair!

- Farinelli being short! While in fact he was almost 2 metres high!

- Farinelli debuting in Spain in 1720, while in reality he showed up in Spain in 1737 as an already established super star, not some greenhorn that still has to prove himself before public. And his first appearance was before king Felipe himself!

- Farinelli singing “Lascia ch’io pianga” again! Nothing triggers me more. The error created by movie from 1994 and repeated over and over again till this day. Though it fits the scene that was quite touching (poor Rosalia:()

- Farinelli bathing in a river with a man he barely met lol. I think he would never do this. He was too serious, too reserved, too elegant. Not to mention his physique was different and he would probably feel uncomfortable in a state of such undress!

Let’s not foget other mistakes like men being unshaved or women wearing corsets on a naked body, without any shirt.
