Countertenor Philippe Jaroussky
"Lascia ch'io pianga" Rinaldo
Handel
Don't look, HBA
Lascia ch'io pianga
mia cruda sorte,
e che sospiri la libertà.
Il duolo infranga queste ritorte
de' mei martiri sol per pietà.

Although many countertenors apply falsetto techniques, there is a small number who are in a different group (not countertenors but male sopranos - I think anyway - obviously I'm no expert), having unbroken voices and (for one reason or another) having low testosterone levels.
For comparison's sake (albeit on a 100+ year old recording and not an opera singer - instead sacred music at the Sistine Chapel) Alessandro Moreschi is worth listening to. Obviously there are great differences due to music style, individual ability and training, and so on.
