Is Tchaikovskys 1812 Festival Overture an overture to an opera a tone poem incidental music or a concert overture?

It's a concert overture written in 1880 in remembrance of the Battle of Borodino in 1812, for a first performance in Moscow on the 70th anniversary of the battle. The logistics of church bells, orchestra, band and cannon-fire prevented the first performance from taking place. It was premiered that year, but in a conventional orchestration without the additions.
