Ruslan and Ludmila was Glinka's second opera, and although the opera is now only rarely performed the Overture has remained a staple orchestral showpiece. The triumphant opening music comes from the scene at the end of the opera when the knight Ruslan and his love Ludmila are reunited. The lyrical second theme of the Overture is taken from Ruslan's famous aria in Act II.
