a "purists" view of male tenors. "Purists" didn't like hearing male tenors going into the soprano and mezzo soprano range. It was considered against the grain of set ranges for Opera singers.

Ok you just showed you don't know shit. The role of Rossini's Otelli lays in spinto tenor range and has quite a bunch of low A's and doesn't have notes written above high C, in fact, most peak at Bb. I got the score if you actually wanna take a look at it. The role that is for a light tenor is Iago, not Otello...that's why when Guiditta Pasta and Malibran sang it as contraltos they simply sang it an octave down because it was already low for a tenor!

You mean Verdi's Otello. Rossini's Otello is for a light tenor.And Verdi's Otello is not an example of bel canto.
