Leonard Bernstein--United States |
|
| An overture is a short composition played by the orchestra at the beginning of an opera or musical. It’s meant to set the tone of the story and introduce some of the musical themes that will be heard. In this case you’ll hear bits of the songs from West Side Story, American composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein’s musical based on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. | |
