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.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
