Alessandro Moreschi, who died in 1922, was the last ____ to sing in the Sistine chapel (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

castrato

(Other definitions for castrato that I've seen before include "Male singer operated on before puberty to retain his soprano voice" , "Unnaturally generated male soprano" , "Former high male singer" , "singer - he's missing something" , "Male singer with a high-pitched voice" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
