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
- Award-Nominated Talent: The musical boasts music and lyrics by Matthew Wilder, a three-time Grammy, Oscar, and Golden Globe nominee known for Disney’s Mulan, and a book by Tim Luscombe, a double Olivier Award nominee for Easy Virtue and The Browning Version.
- Critical Buzz: Stiletto has been nominated for 11 awards at the 2025/2026 Fringe Theatre Awards, including Best New Musical and Best Production, signaling its potential as a West End hit.

- Venetian Splendor: The set by Ceci Calf recreates an Italian piazza, with lush costumes by Anna Kelsey that capture the era’s grandeur, making it a visual feast for tourists.
