Coincidentally Honore de Balzac published his novella about a castrato, Sarrasine, in 1830.
Bette Bourne has acted in most of the leading theatres in Britain and over the past decade he has won acclaim for his work as the castrato- diva star of Sarrasine, Lord Henry Wooton in The Picture of Dorian Gray and an award-winning performance as Lady Bracknell in The Importance of Being Earnest.
There has also been the Italian-Quebecois work of Paul Tana with his Cafe Italia, Montreal (1985) and La Sarrasine (1992), along with the important Italian references in both of Jean-Claude Lauzon's features, Un zoo la nuit (1987) and Leolo (1992).
