Dario Salvi

Dario Salvi is a conductor and musicologist with a passion for unearthing hidden gems of 19th-century opera and orchestral music. Specializing in revitalizing overlooked works by composers like Daniel Auber, Heinrich Marschner, and Giacomo Meyerbeer, he’s become a go-to expert for breathing new life into forgotten scores. His recent projects, including a multi-volume dive into Auber’s overtures and reconstructions of stage music by Marschner, showcase his knack for balancing historical rigor with vibrant performances. You’ll often find him collaborating with ensembles like the Vienna Baroque Orchestra or CZECH Philharmonic Choir Brno, turning archival dust into concert-hall excitement.

When he’s not conducting, Salvi moonlights as a music detective—editing rare works (like Adolphe Adam’s *Orfa*) or crafting performance editions of operas such as Meyerbeer’s *Jephtas Gelübde*. His releases often feel like a time machine, whether he’s resurrecting Suppé’s *80 Days* score or reviving ballet bops like *La fille mal gardée*’s “Clog Dance.” For fans of Romantic-era deep cuts, Salvi’s work is a treasure chest of “wait, why haven’t I heard this before?!” moments.
