By general consent, the first Opera was Daphne or Dafne, first performed in 1598, music by Jacopo Corsi (-1604) and Jacopo Peri (1561-1633), libretto by Ottavio Rinuccini (1562-1621). If there were any earlier we have no record, and none of the score for Daphne remains.

How many overtures did Beethoven compose for Fidelio?

Beethoven's opera, Fidelio was originally titled Leonore. He wrote three overtures, each time deciding the overture was too strong to serve as a prelude to the opera. After he revised the opera and changed the title he wrote a fourth overture, this one bearing the new title, Overture to Fidelio. All four share melodic features and a similar structure. Some conductors have inserted the 3rd (and most famous) of the Leonore overtures as an intermezzo between the last scenes of the opera.
