Puccini's "La bohème" and "Manon Lescaut"
Tan Dun's "The First Emperor" (from the 2006-07 season).
Engelbert Humperdinck's "Hansel and Gretel"
Verdi's "Macbeth"
Britten's "Peter Grimes"
The Met's Live in HD effort also continues this year, and the simulcasts are taking on a more international scope with an expansion to 800 venues in 28 countries.
