3 is the simplest and most natural, I would say. However, the other two, with the 'for me to' form are also OK. - It is the first time for me to go to the opera.

Hi
No.3 is the simplest and most natural, I would say.
However, the other two, with the 'for me to' form are also OK.
- It is the first time for me to go to the opera.
- It is the first time for me to have cooked a Korean recipe.
Both of those forms are understood as well. Maybe they are more likely to be used in conversation, so you wouldn't use them in a form
