put up/on

Certainly in the American language it would be3 "put on."

Thanks, Setanta.

BrE is OK with "put up" a performance.

Having read the original piece, which is a quotation of remarks by Tan Chuan-Jin, Speaker of the Singapore Parliament, I revise my advice. To perform a play, or musical, gymnastic, military etc spectacle, is to put on that performance. The confusion (at least in Mt Tan's mind) probably arose because when we do well in a competition such as a race, tournament or series of e.g. football games, we can say we put up a good performance. Thus the answer to Tanguatlay's question is: yes, it should be "put up". This answer is correct for British English as well as American.

Would the coward care to explain? What I wrote is absolutely correct.

Ah! I see! I am covered in shame. The "cowards" were right. All along it was staring me in the face. Typing on autopilot. For what it's worth, this is what I should have written:

Apologies to all.

Thanks, centrox.
