Rossini - William Tell Overture (Finale)

Tchaikovsky - 1812 Overture (Full With Cannons)

The famous prelude to "Die Walküre" is the "Ride of the Valkyries". As an exceptional piece to unveil an opera about female Norse archetypes with powers to condemn the fate of war soldiers, "Ride of the Valkyries" is revered for its climatic and invigorating nature, deeming it popular and best suited among many films and TV productions.
