Mascherato is a musical with music, lyrics and original story by Michael Elderkin and book by James Willett.
"In the heart of 18th century Venice we meet Luca and Elena, and follow as they fall in love against the backdrop of the thriving carnival. However, the pair are torn apart as Venice sinks into war against the Ottoman Empire. When the conflict finally ends, and the empire proves victorious, the two lovers must fight against fate to be reunited."[citation needed]
A workshop version of the show was performed in Milton Court Theatre, Barbican Centre, London in 2017. In 2020, a full studio cast recording featuring Rob Houchen, Katy Treharne, Jeremy Secomb, and Nathaniel Parker was released.[1][2][3] The album is structured with underscored dialogue and a reduced script to allow for the full story to be told.

Recordings[edit]
In 2020, the full original studio cast recording was released, met with very positive reviews.[5][6] The music was recorded at Abbey Road Studios with a 22-piece orchestra and the vocals were recorded later at Masterchord Studios, in North London.
Due to the lockdown and social distancing measures put in place from the COVID-19 pandemic, all the singers had to be recorded in separate sessions, even if they had dialogue together.
