The schedule, including "Anna Bolena" on October 15, then "Don Giovanni" and "La Traviata," will "feature the world's leading singers, conductors, and stage directors in seven new productions, including a world premiere and a Met premiere, and four revivals," the Met said.
"Our new season of Met live high definition transmissions mirrors the season at the Opera House," said Met General Manager Peter Gelb. "It's a thrilling experience for our entire company to continue to be serving our global opera audience."
Also on the menu are "Faust," a new production of Massenet's "Manon," and Robert Lepage's productions of the last two installments of Wagner's "Ring," which began last season.
The whole cycle will be performed in April and May 2010.
The live transmissions bring a populist touch to an art form often seen as elitist. They are also proving lucrative.
The Met said that in the 2009-10 season, 2.4 million tickets were sold in more than 1,200 theaters in 43 countries, grossing $48 million, with $8 million in net revenue for the Met.
