A castrati Tenor was a Tenor who had been castrated so he would not go through puberty, and would therefore not experience a change in his voice. Repulsive though the practice may seem to us today, Castrati Tenors were highly prized in the Opera Houses of the Baroque period (approximately 1600 to 1750). Young boy sopranos were hand-picked for selection to be castrated. They could develop into castrati sopranos, altos or tenors, and as they grwe, they would develop more powerful lung power. The Castrati had an extensive vocal range and, because women were forbidden to perform on stage, they could play both masculine and feminine parts in the operas of the time.

What has a casterati to do with the Catholic church?
I am not sure if we are talking about the same thing, but I am going to take a shot in the dark and assume you mean castrato (pl.castrati) since I am not aware of a meaning for the word casterati in English. Castrati were usually choir boys/singers who were castrated before puberty to maintain their soprano or contralto range of voices. The practice proved to be pointless and excessive, since only a small percentage of castrati kept their desired voice ranges. I believe the last known castrato died around 1922. Castrati were very popular up until the 18th century and performed in Churches. Hope the information was helpful.

Males do not have soprano voices unless they have no testosterone. This means that only young boys can sing soprano. At one time, boys with particularly talented voices would be castrated so that they could continue to sing soprano. These were known as castradi.
