ImageThe Met’s groundbreaking series of live, high-definition performance transmissions to movie theaters around the world expands in its third season. To meet increasing global demand, The Met: Live in HD will present 11 transmissions in 2008–09, up from eight. The HD productions will be seen in almost 800 venues and a number of new countries in South America and Europe are joining the network this season. In Bucharest you can watch the Metropolitan Opera's performances at The Light Cinemas-Liberty Center (Progresului Street, No. 151-171, 050696, Bucharest).

Here are the details for the productions that will be broadcast in the following months:

Madama Butterfly – Puccini

Saturday, March 7, 2009 (1:00 pm ET)

Running time 3 hours 21 minutes /two intermissions

Cristina Gallardo-Domâs returns to the title role of Anthony Minghella’s stunning production, a new classic of the Met repertory, opposite Marcello Giordani.Conductor: Patrick Summers; Production: Anthony Minghella; Cristina Gallardo-Domâs, Marcello Giordani

La Sonnambula (New Production) – Bellini

Saturday, March 21, 2009 (1:00 pm ET)

Running time 2 hours 40 minutes / one intermission

Mary Zimmerman, who directed Natalie Dessay in last season’s hit production of Lucia di Lammermoor, underlines La Sonnambula’s dual elements of sleep and wakefulness in an intriguing staging set in the present. Bellini’s hauntingly lyrical score soars as performed by Dessay and Juan Diego Flórez, back from their sensational run together in La Fille du Régiment.Conductor: Evelino Pidò; Production: Mary Zimmerman; Natalie Dessay, Juan Diego Flórez, Michele Pertusi

La Cenerentola – Rossini 

Saturday, May 9, 2009 (12:30 pm ET)

Running time 3 hours / one intermission

Hot on the heels of her triumphant Met debut as Rosina in last season’s Il Barbiere di Siviglia, Elīna Garanča portrays another Rossini charmer in this bel canto Cinderella story. Lawrence Brownlee is her Prince Charming. Veteran baritone Alessandro Corbelli demonstrates his impeccable comic timing to match the gravitas of Met favorite John Relyea.

Conductor: Maurizio Benini; Production: Cesare Lievi; Elīna Garanča, Lawrence Brownlee, Simone Alberghini, Alessandro Corbelli, John Relyea
