• The New York premiere of Artist-in-Residence John Adams’ new opera, A Flowering Tree. The opera was inspired by Mozart's The Magic Flute and will be directed by Peter Sellars.



• The New York premieres of the Mark Morris Dance Group's Empire Garden and Visitation, Morris' newest collaborations with Yo-Yo Ma and Emanuel Ax.
