The new program was officially launched on Thursday evening and contains four big shows to look forward to, as well as a variety of others also listed on the website.
CIRCA, Opera Australia, Van Diemen's Band and Victorian State Ballet will feature as part of the season.
Opera Australia's production of Carmen will enter the stage doors on June 28, featuring a live orchestra and a children's chorus - from Launceston's own Vox Harmony choir.
"Carmen is a very approachable opera, and is perfect for first-time opera-goers and aficionados alike," Theatre North programs manager Stuart Loone said.

"Opera Australia is the nation's largest subsidised performance company, and their productions are always through-the-roof spectacular".
Brisbane-based CIRCA will bring their work Peepshow to Launceston in August, and is recommended for audiences 15-years and older.
Mr Loone said CIRCA were among the top handful of circus practitioners globally.
"We are beyond thrilled to have snagged a performance by them, after being on the hunt to bring them to Launceston for many years," he said.
Van Diemen's Band - a baroque group - will take the Princess Theatre stage for the first time with The Harmonic Inspiration.
"It's nearly a crime that they haven't been heard at the Princess before," Mr Loone said.
"These are fierce musicians who are world-class."
