Description:
Inspired by the success of Jacques Offenbach's operettas in Vienna, Franz von Suppé (1819-1895) began composing his first stage works in 1860. His comic opera "Isabella", from 1869, was premiered in Vienna. Both Spanish and Viennese melodies can be heard in the overture. Although Suppé's music does not always have the typical Viennese sound, he secured a permanent place in the concert halls with his overtures such as "Poet and Peasant" or "Light Cavalry".
