Light Cavalry Overture Light Cavalry Overture is the overture to Franz von Suppé’s operetta "Light Cavalry" (German: "Leichte Kavallerie"), premiered in Vienna in 1866.

Many orchestras around the world have the piece in their repertoire, and the main theme of the overture has been quoted numerous times by musicians, cartoons and other media.
