Jane Marie Andrée Rhodes sang Renata in the first recorded performance of an opera that could be  considered one of the composer’s what?
The Fiery Angel (opera) Sergei Prokofiev's opera, The Fiery Angel (Russian: Огненный ангел , "Ognenny angel" ), Op. 37, could be considered one of the composer’s largest challenges. Writing, production, and location were all factors in the piece’s progress. The journey to completion was not truly over until after Prokofiev’s time, when the piece was first presented in a full performance at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées on 25 November 1955, and was first premiered at the Venice Festival in 1955.
Die Schuldigkeit des ersten Gebots Die Schuldigkeit des ersten Gebots (complete title in historical spelling: "Die Schuldigkeit Des ersten und fürnehmsten Gebotes "; The Obligation of the First and Foremost Commandment), K. 35, is a sacred musical play ("geistliches Singspiel") composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1767 when he was 11 years old. It is Mozart's first opera or, more specifically, "sacred drama", as is suggested by the name. The libretto is now attributed to , although Johann Adam Wieland or Jakob Anton Marianus Wimmer had been suggested earlier. (The title page of the libretto ascribes it only to "J.A.W.".) Only the first part of the opera was composed by Mozart; the second and third parts were contributed by Michael Haydn and Anton Cajetan Adlgasser respectively. However, these other two parts have not survived. Part 1 of the opera was first performed on March 12, 1767, in the Knight's Hall of the Palace of the Archbishop, the Salzburg Residenz. Part 2 was performed on March 19, and part 3 on March 26.
