debut

To be clear, the movie will début in Cannes, not "at" Cannes.

His directorial début, starring the young French YSL-lookalike Pierre Niney, was released in theaters throughout France last week.

I was proud of my début as an arbitrator, especially as it was rewarded by, what seemed to me then, a very handsome fee.

On the fourth day of the proceedings I made my début as a Parliamentary witness.

He was still quite young, and he had wished for this strange rôle in which to make his début.

He succeeded, and made his début at a concert at Vienna with the most flattering applause.

Our début was made upon the stage, which we examined in its various parts and appendages while the ballet practice was proceeding.
