Overtures, Overtures, Overtures!

Imagine compressing a 3 or 4 hour opera into 8 minutes of music.
You’ve just imagined an overture! Overtures are an integral and
beloved part of the opera and concert experience, and the best
overtures live on as separate pieces from the work they are
attached to. These overtures feature music so wonderful that they
become immortal miniature masterpieces. So today I'll take you
through 10 of my favorite overtures, from William Tell, to Don
Giovanni, to Candide, to Romeo and Juliet, and many more. Enjoy!
