How to use "Overture" in context?
An overture (from Old French overture "opening scene," from Medieval Latin officium, from offic-, present participle stem of ov~ere "to offer") is a piece of music that leads into a full-length opera, typically performed before the acts of a opera, or before a ballet. Owing to its place in the operatic tradition, "overture" has come to be used more generally to refer to any sequence of musical Prelude, Intermezzo or introduction, irrespective of the work's formal structure.
