There are three overtures to Orphee aux Enfers: the first, written by Offenbach in an 18th century pastiche style for Paris in 1858, the second and most famous one, written in 1860 for Vienna by Carl Binder, the third one (heard here) written in 1874, by Offenbach.

I'm curious as to what this overture is. It's not the overture named for and generally know as preceding this opera.
It is a prelude to the second version from 1874.
