Countertenor

What is Countertenor?

1.

The highest male voice; in speaking and singing, countertenors have the normal range of a tenor, but are able, by singing in falsetto, to go higher, into the contralto/alto range, mezzo-sopranorange, and, with the great ones, into the sopranorange.

They are usually assigned roles written originally for the castratos, yanking those roles away from the contraltos.

Is that a female alto singing...? It sounds different... it's probably a countertenor.
