Another pointless chart thread (as suggested on the symphonies thread) for a harmless bit of fun. I've moved my list over from there listing only one overture per composer
Why don't we get these as often in concert programmes as we once did? They are all superb openers.
Wagner: Die Meistersinger
Strauss: Die Fledermaus
Mendelssohn: A Midsummer Night's Dream
Herold: Zampa
Suppe: Light Cavalry
Rossini: William Tell
Glinka: Ruslan and Ludmilla
Berlioz: The Corsair
Shostakovich: Festive Overture
Borodin: Prince Igor
