& Orchestral Sets

Dario Salvi is one of the leading figures in researching and reviving lost works, particularly in the world of Viennese operetta and ballet.

​He is a conductor with a special interest in finding forgotten Viennese operas, operettas and ballets and restoring and compiling the musical score and parts ready for use on the modern stage, along with original images, reviews and pertinent information about past performances.
