Lest my somewhat inaccurate previous comment confuse anyone: I don't believe that the beginning of Il Trovatore has an actual "overture" or opening instrumental theme. In my opinion, the entire opera is powerful. The well-known "Anvil Chorus" is in the second act, though at the beginning of it. Does that make it technically an ouverture? I really don't know!

Overtures
It's hard to pick THE favorite. I'm glad to see so many weighing in on Candide - that's some exciting stuff. I would also have to go with the Abduction from the Seraglio as a favorite right out of the gate. I guess the two are similar in some ways - like the circus is about to come to town. Heh!
