American composer George Whitefield Chadwick [1854-1931] composed Tabasco (burlesque opera) in 1894.  It is not available on any recording format/never was recorded.

The Czech orchestra 'Hradec Kralove Philharmonic' conducted by Paul Mauffray performed the overture and this was taped in 2014, I believe, but I don't know the location or event.   Like virtually all of Chadwick's work, an excellent piece. Since this has upgraded audio it can't be run in a shell  on the browser - you'll need to d/l it, sorry - .mkv files can be played on any media player worth tuppence.
