The next wave of high-definition opera broadcasts hits cinemas this month, with four prerecorded productions from the San Francisco Opera arriving on several Wehrenburg screens here in March and April, and Metropolitan Opera stepping up its live presence at its five area locations.

San Francisco’s offering four showings each of Puccini’s “La Rondine,” with soprano Angela Gheorghiu, March 8 through 11; Saint-Saens’ “Samson et Dalila,” starring mezzo-soprano Olga Borodina, March 29 through April 1; Mozart’s “Don Giovanni,” with rising baritone Mariusz Kwiechien, April 12 through 15; and Puccini’s “Madama Butterfly,” with that singing actress par excellence, Patricia Racette, in the title role, April 19 through 22.

Meanwhile, the Met’s bringing in Britten’s “Peter Grimes,” with tenor Anthony Dean Griffey as the troubled fisherman, and Racette, again, as Ellen Orford, on March 15; Wagner’s “Tristan und Isolde,” with soprano Deborah Voigt, mezzo-soprano Michelle DeYoung and tenor Ben Heppner, on March 22; Puccini’s “La Bohème” (Gheorghiu again) on April 5; and Donizetti’s “La Fille du Régiment (The Daughter of the Regiment)” with the incandescent Natalie Dessay, on April 26.

It all sounds good; let’s see if the market can sustain it. (For ticket information, visit metopera.org or sfopera.com.)
