In Shakespeare's day, people did not make a big deal out of prémieres of plays. We know, because a guy called Philip Henslowe wrote it down in his diary, that a new play was prémiered by every theatrical company about once every two weeks. But apart from Henslowe's diary, there is no record of when any plays were first performed. We can only guess that one of the early performances we know about might have been the first.
In the case of Hamlet, it was first performed sometime around 1601, certainly before 1603 when it was first published. The first performance was probably at the Globe Playhouse.
