The two-act operetta Leichte Kavallerie (Light Cavalry) was written by Franz von Suppè (1819-1895) in 1866 and is set in a 19th-century Austrian village where love intrigues and other relationships intersect with the arrival of a regiment of hussars (a class of light cavalry). While the operetta itself is obscure and very rarely staged, the Overture has taken on a life of its own, practically divorced from the original dramatic work, becoming arguably the best-known composition by von Suppè and a standard work in the orchestral repertoire, quoted in numerous other medias, including cartoons.
