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.
The person best viewed as the first master of opera was Claudio Monteverdi. He was born in 1569 and died in 1643. He wrote the first opera in the early 1600's.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote the music for the opera Così fan tutte.
The opera Mefistofele was written by the Italian composer Arrigo Boito.

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.
The title comes from what you've written, not before. If you wrote an article about losing history, then it's a good title. Finish the article first, and the title will come out of what you wrote.
