If anybody needs reason to go beyond the famous introduction, I have six solid reasons:
1) 4:07 We're in the midst of this beautiful string section that already sounds like honey, and then we get this sweeping glissando from an E7 chord to an Ab chord. Beautiful.
2) 7:27 This section just sounds like a storm, and the melody adds to the chaos. Especially right here where the horns buzz around and help the cadence end with more storm.
3) 15:30 POW! We went through a creepy fugue, and then through another storm. Here, at the height of the storm, this C5 chord drops like a thunderbolt from Zeus.
4) 21:16 Strauss has got us in a dance mood, but here, the tempo goes out of control and the dance truly begins to whirl.
5) 26:19 This section is just so happy. It's heroic, but on steroids. Everybody in the orchestra is going insane, the feeling is ecstatic.
6) 29:20 The strings and woodwinds twinkle in the stratosphere here, shining and brilliant.
Just listen to the whole thing.

The song was inspired by Ray's memories of his older sister, Rene, who died of a heart attack while dancing at a dance hall. The lyrics, sung from the perspective of an "East End barrow boy," are about the boy's sister going on dates at a local Palais dance hall.[1]

This is the 1812 Overture (Choral Version) version not normally heard or performed.
