Reduction for 1 flute (doubles on piccolo), 1 oboe, 2 clarinets, 1 bassoon, 2 horns, 1 trumpet, 1 bass trombone, timpani & percussion (combined part—1 or more players), harp, viola d'amore (optional), and strings.

Our Butterfly reduction requires two fewer winds than the old Panizza reduction. In addition, we incorporate timpani and all of the percussion, including the banda, into a single part for one or more players (multiple copies are provided with the rental). Panizza's trumpet parts were written for the extinct low F trumpet, requiring an error-prone transposition of a fourth or fifth for modern instruments, and containing notes too low for the C trumpet. Our trumpet part is written specifically for trumpet in C.

Reduction for 1 flute (doubles on piccolo), 1 oboe, 2 clarinets, 1 bassoon, 2 horns, 1 trumpet, 1 bass trombone, timpani & percussion (combined part—1 or more players), harp, organ & celesta, and strings.

Our Tosca reduction requires two fewer winds than the old McConathy reduction. In addition, we incorporate timpani and all of the percussion, including the banda, into a single part for one or more players (multiple copies are provided with the rental). The McConathy set is missing harp, organ, and celesta parts, which we of course provide.

For orchestras with small cello sections, we provide alternate versions of the Act III cello quartet, for three celli and a viola, or for 2 celli and two violas.

The church bells at the beginning of Act III are cued in the organ/celesta part as well as the percussion part, for possible performance on synthesizer, or an antiphonal combination of synthesizer and percussion tubular bells.

Reduction for 1 flute (doubles on piccolo), 1 oboe, 1 clarinet, 1 bassoon, 2 horns, 1 trumpet, 1 bass trombone, timpani & percussion (combined part—1 or more players), harp, organ & piano (combined part; covers harp as well), and strings.
