Another interesting story would be about the first of the great chazzanim/operatic tenors - not someone like Richard Tucker but the 18th-century English pair of Mayer Lyon (Michael Leoni) and John Braham. Lyon made extensive use of his falsetto, so wasn't just a tenor but extended into the countertenor range.
