		Original portraits of Handel's singers, such as John Beard and Faustina Bordoni (at left), reinforce the museum's emphasis on art history and serve to remind visitors that Handel was an art lover.

		In the century and a half after Handel's death, the house was occupied by residential and commercial tenants, and it was not until about ten years ago that the idea of a museum devoted to Handel was germinated.

		The museum is housed in what was Handel's Mayfair home from 1723 until his death in 1759, so it is likely that some castrati also sang here.
		The castrato most associated with Handel, however, was Francesco Bernardi, better known as Senesino, who was born in Siena in 1686 and was already a legend by the time he reached London and sang Handel's "Radamisto" in 1720.
		But Handel needed Carestini because he alone could rival Carlo Broschi, known as Farinelli, who was arguably the most popular castrato ever and who, to Handel's intense displeasure, refused to sing for him.
