Why Stiletto Is a Must-See for Tourists

Set in the vibrant, treacherous streets of Venice during the winter of 1730-31, Stiletto transports you to a world where opera singers were the rock stars of their day. Follow Marco, a young castrato singer whose voice promises fame, as he navigates a society of opulence and betrayal. His life transforms when he meets Gioia, a supremely talented woman held back by her heritage as the daughter of an African slave. Their shared passion for music sparks a love story that leads to a shocking murder, testing Marco’s courage against corrupt forces. With a soaring score, gripping drama, and lavish costumes, Stiletto is the perfect way to experience London’s cutting-edge theatre scene.

Fascinating Facts About Stiletto
