A work will often have many premières: a world première (the first time it is shown anywhere in the world), its first presentation in each country, and an online première<ref>{{cite web<br />

When a work originates in a country that speaks a different language from that in which it is receiving its national or international première, it is possible to have two premières for the same work in the same country—for example, the play ''[[The Maids]]'' by the French dramatist [[Jean Genet]] received its British première (which also happened to be its world première) in 1952, in a production given in the French language. Four years later, it was staged again, this time in English, which was its English-language première in Britain.<br />
