premiered
- 1Simple past and past participle of premiere.
The opera premiered in Vienna to enthusiastic reviews.
The series has premiered on three different streaming platforms.
Note
Two constructions share this one spelling. Used intransitively, the work itself is the subject: the opera premiered in Vienna. Used transitively, someone presents the work: the network premiered the series in the fall. Only the transitive use can be made passive, as in the film was premiered at the festival. The intransitive use forms its perfect with have, as in it had premiered abroad.
- 2Simple past and past participle of premier.
The ballet premiered to a standing ovation at the gala.
The drama had premiered abroad before reaching local screens.
Note
The same spelling also serves premier. Its verb overlaps with the past of premiere for first performances, but it carries a second meaning of its own: to govern as premier. A sentence like she premiered for two terms belongs to politics, not the stage. When the subject is a ballet, play or film, the theatrical reading is the one intended.
