A fantasy overture is a musical composition that typically serves as an introduction to an Opera, concert, or other performance, characterized by its free-form structure and imaginative themes. Unlike traditional overtures that may summarize the plot of a work, a fantasy overture explores various musical ideas and emotions, often inspired by literary or artistic concepts. This genre allows composers to showcase their creativity and provide an evocative atmosphere, inviting the audience into the world of the performance. Notable examples include Tchaikovsky's "Romeo and Juliet" and Mendelssohn's "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
