Why See Stiletto?
World Premiere
A brand new musical set in 18th-century Venice comes to the Charing Cross Theatre in 2025! In the 1700s, castration was a means by which poor families might find fortune, with castrated boys preserving their high singing voice into adulthood and able to take on female opera roles. Stiletto follows Marco, one such castrato whose is on the journey towards opera stardom.
When he strives to bring Gioia, a gifted singer descended from African slaves, into the limelight, the tale takes a turn. After an evening which sees a life lost and Gioia in prison, the pair must confront the trauma and corrupt power structures that hold them both captive. With music and lyrics by written by Grammy, Golden Globe and Oscar nominated Matthew Wilder and book by Olivier-nominated Tim Luscombe, Stiletto is a must-see new musical set to take London by storm.
