Question: Which was performed first in history, Palestrina or Il matrimonio segreto?
Context: Friedrich Brodersen (1 December 1873 - 19 March 1926) was a German operatic baritone.  Born in Bad Boll, he studied singing with Heinrich Bertram.  He made his professional opera debut in 1900.  He created roles in several world premieres during his career, including Pantalone in Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari's "Le donne curiose" (1903), Count Gil in Wolf-Ferrari's "Il segreto di Susanna" (1909), Simone Trovai in Erich Wolfgang Korngold's "Violanta" (1916), Morone in Hans Pfitzner's "Palestrina" (1917), Sang in Heinrich Rohr's "Das Vaterunser", and roles in Paul von Klenau's "Sulamith" (1913), and Walter Braunfels's "Die Vögel" (1920). Il matrimonio segreto ("The Secret Marriage") is an opera in two acts, music by Domenico Cimarosa, on a libretto by Giovanni Bertati, based on the play "The Clandestine Marriage" by George Colman the Elder and David Garrick.  It was first performed on 7 February 1792 at the Imperial Hofburg Theatre in Vienna in the presence of Emperor Leopold II. La cambiale di matrimonio (The Bill of Marriage or The Marriage Contract) is a one-act operatic farsa comica by Gioachino Rossini to a libretto by Gaetano Rossi.  The libretto was based on the play by Camillo Federici (1791) and a previous libretto by Giuseppe Checcherini for Carlo Coccia's 1807 opera, "Il matrimonio per lettera di cambio".  The opera debuted on 3 November 1810 at the Teatro San Moisè in Venice Missa Brevis is a mass written by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina first published in 1570 in Palestrina's "Third Book of Masses" and has been Reprinted several times since.  The Title can be misleading as Missa Brevis is commonly a short mass.  Palestrina likely chose the word "Brevis" as this was the most adequate word to portray the piece.  Missa Brevis is considered to be one of the most performed of Palestrina's repertoire of polyphony. Domenico Cimarosa (] ; 17 December 1749, Aversa, Kingdom of Naples, now Province of Caserta – 11 January 1801, Venice) was an Italian opera composer of the Neapolitan school.  He wrote more than eighty operas during his lifetime, including his masterpiece, "Il matrimonio segreto" (1792).  Cimarosa also wrote numerous instrumental works, both secular and religious in nature. Sweetwater was an American rock band originally from Los Angeles, California.  They were the act scheduled to open the Woodstock Festival in 1969; however, due to being stopped by the police on their way to the festival, folksinger Richie Havens' trio (Daniel Ben Zebulon, percussion, Paul "Deano" Williams, guitar, backing vocals) performed first.  Sweetwater performed next, becoming the first band to perform at the festival. La gazzetta, ossia Il matrimonio per concorso (The Newspaper, or The Marriage Contest) is an opera buffa by Gioachino Rossini.

His stage repertoire included Belmonte in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's "Die Entführung aus dem Serail", Chapelou in Adolphe Adam's "Le postillon de Lonjumeau", Count Almaviva in Gioachino Rossini's "The Barber of Seville", Daniel in Franz Lehár's "The Merry Widow", the Duke of Mantua in Giuseppe Verdi's "Rigoletto", Gabriel von Eisenstein in Johann Strauss II's "Die Fledermaus", Indigo in Strauss' "Indigo und die vierzig Räuber", Jeník in Bedřich Smetana's "The Bartered Bride", Paolino in Domenico Cimarosa's "Il matrimonio segreto", Pâris in Jacques Offenbach's "La belle Hélène", Pietro in Franz von Suppé's "Boccaccio", and Wilhelm Meister in Ambroise Thomas' "Mignon". Palestrina is an opera by the German composer Hans Pfitzner, first performed in 1917.  The composer referred to it as a "Musikalische Legende" (musical legend), and wrote the libretto himself, based on a legend about the Renaissance musician Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, who saves the art of contrapuntal music (polyphony) for the Church in the sixteenth century, through his composition of the "Missa Papae Marcelli".  The wider context is that of the European Reformation and the role of music in relation to it.  The character of Cardinal Borromeo is depicted, and a General Congress of the Council of Trent is the centrepiece of Act II.
