After diong a little more digging, I see that the Lincke Lysistrata was 
written in 1902 (which makes it early enough) and that it is the source 
of the Glow-worm song, popularized by the Mills Bros., et al. There is 
definitely an overture (see 
http://www.schott-music.com/shop/Sheet_Music/Orchestra_Ensembles/Salon_Orchestra_Spa_Orchestra_Combo/show,6860.html 
), though I can't point you towards any sheet music for it.
