'''Gaetano Orsini''' ({{circa}} 1667 ‐ {{date|1750|10|21}}), often only named '''Gaetano''', was a castrato singer. Born in Bologna, his path took him to Milan and Vienna. At the court of Vienna, he was one of the busiest singers; his career at the ''Hofkapelle'' lasted more than 50 years in which he performed in many oratorios and operas. As the ''Österreichisches Musiklexikon'' notes, his voice was often accompanied by a violoncello or ''chalumeau'' ''obligato'', not a very frequent choice, which helps us to make assumptions about the character of Orsini's voice that it complemented the obligato part so well. | '''Gaetano Felice Orsini''' ({{circa}} 1667 ‐ {{date|1750|10|21}}), often only named '''Gaetano''', was a castrato singer.
