Good Question! Thanks for asking, Bob!
1610 — Monteverdi’s premiere of his Vespers at Basilica di San Marco in Venice, and
1913 — Ballet Russes premiere of Stravinsky’s “Le Sacre du Printemps” in Paris which caused a riot in the audience.
Honestly, there are many others, but at the time of my exams, those were my top three.
