world premiere
Initial public unveiling
A world premiere is the first public performance or showing of a work—a film, play, opera, or other production—anywhere in the world.
The term emphasizes that no audience has seen it before: The world premiere of his latest film will be at Cannes.
Subsequent first showings in other locations are regional premieres.
