Review: Salvi makes American debut with two operatic rarities

Concert Operetta Theater | Academy of the Vocal Arts, Philadelphia

November 18 & 19, 2017

Dario Salvi with Executive and Artistic Director Daniel Pantano and the Company of Concert Operetta Theater, Philadelphia

Concert Operetta Theater moved into new artistic territory with its November production of two unfamiliar operettas. Daniel Pantano’s Philadelphia company teamed up with a European organization led by Dario Salvi devoted to the preservation of neglected music. Their similar interests came together with a double bill of operettas not heard in America in a century.
