Ever worked on something until it finally felt right? Beethoven certainly did. While revising his only opera, he wrote four different overtures before settling on one. Ironically, the one many people love most never became the opera's opening. Tonight, hear the concert favorite, Leonore Overture No. 3, on 91.1, 107.5, and our music stream.
