Thread Name: Castratos (Castrati)
Subject: RE: BS: Castrato's (Castrati)
tenor in Italian is tenore. I think the pl. is tenori, but don't quote me.
If you want to use the original Italian, I suppose soprani can't be faulted; it is just not common usage in English.

(Now why wasn't that mob crime drama called Soprani??)
