William Savage (1720-1789) -- Child Singer (UK)

Savage came to prominence as a boy treble in 1735, singing in a revival of Handel's Athalia and in Alcina during the composer's Covent Garden season.[ The role of Oberto in Alcina was specially composed with his voice in mind and was added to the score at a later time in order just to cast him. After his voice had broken, he initially continued his career singing as an alto (countertenor), and later turned into a bass.
