Question: Who passed away first, Claudio Monteverdi or Gaspare Spontini ?
Context: Gaspare Luigi Pacifico Spontini (14 November 177424 January 1851) was an Italian opera composer and conductor. Milton is an opéra comique in one act by Gaspare Spontini.  The French libretto, by Victor-Joseph Étienne de Jouy and Armand-Michel Dieulafoy, is based on the life of the English poet John Milton.  "Milton" was first performed on 27 November 1804 by the Opéra-Comique at the Salle Feydeau in Paris .  It was Spontini's first major success in France.  The composer planned a reworked version for performances in Germany, under the title "Das verlorene Paradies" ("Paradise Lost"), but in the event it was never staged. Agnes von Hohenstaufen is an opera in three acts by the Italian composer Gaspare Spontini.  The German libretto is by Ernst Benjamin Salomo Raupach.  It was first staged at the Königliches Opernhaus, Berlin, on 12 June 1829.  Raupach categorised "Agnes von Hohenstaufen" as a "historical-romantic" opera and it is one of a number of German works of the time set in the Middle Ages (others include Weber's "Euryanthe", Wagner's "Tannhäuser" and "Lohengrin" and Schumann's "Genoveva").  "Agnes" also contains many of the features that would be characteristic of French Grand Opera.  Spontini substantially reworked the piece for a revival in 1837. In natural language processing, open information extraction (OIE) is the task of generating a structured, machine-readable representation of the information in text, usually in the form of triples or n-ary propositions.  A proposition can be understood as truth-bearer, a textual expression of a potential fact (e.g., "Dante wrote the Divine Comedy"), represented in an amenable structure for computers [e.g., ("Dante", "wrote", "Divine Comedy")].  An OIE extraction normally consists of a relation and a set of arguments.  For instance, ("Dante", "passed away in" "Ravenna") is a proposition formed by the relation "passed away in" and the arguments "Dante" and "Ravenna".  The first argument is usually referred as the subject while the second is considered to be the object. Maiolati Spontini is a "comune" (municipality) in the Province of Ancona in the Italian region Marche, located about 35 km southwest of Ancona.  It is the birthplace of musician Gaspare Spontini, whose name has been conjoined with the commune's ancient name, Maiolati. Fernand Cortez, ou La conquête du Mexique ("Hernán Cortés, or The Conquest of Mexico") is an opéra in three acts by Gaspare Spontini with a French libretto by Etienne de Jouy and Joseph-Alphonse d’Esmenard.  It was first performed on 28 November 1809 by the Académie Impériale de Musique (Paris Opera) at the Salle Montansier. La vestale ("The Vestal Virgin") is an opera composed by Gaspare Spontini to a French libretto by Étienne de Jouy.  It takes the form of a "tragédie lyrique" in three acts.  It was first performed on 15 December 1807 by the Académie Impériale de Musique (Paris Opera) at the Salle Montansier, and is regarded as Spontini's masterpiece.  The musical style shows the influence of Gluck and looks forwards to the works of Berlioz, Wagner and French Grand Opera. Olimpie (also spelled Olympie) is an opera in three acts by Gaspare Spontini.  The French libretto, by Armand-Michel Dieulafoy and Charles Brifaut (1781–1857), is based on the play of the same name by Voltaire (1761).  "Olimpie" was first performed on 22 December 1819 by the Paris Opéra at the Salle Montansier.  When sung in Italian or German, it is usually given the title Olimpia. Gaspare Spontini (1774–1851) wrote operas from the last decade of the 18th century to the third decade of the 19th century. Claudio Giovanni Antonio Monteverdi (] ; 15 May 1567 (baptized) – 29 November 1643) was an Italian composer, string player and choirmaster.
