A Citywide Celebration of the Art of Jun Kaneko

      

A Citywide Celebration
of the Art of Jun Kaneko

This fall, the Opera Company of Philadelphia is proud to present Puccini’s timeless Madama Butterfly in a stunning, contemporary production by internationally acclaimed artist Jun Kaneko.  In an exciting collaboration among several of Philadelphia’s major arts institutions, and with the endorsement of the City of Philadelphia, Jun Kaneko’s large-scale, ceramic art will be exhibited in four prime Center City venues.  We hope that arts enthusiasts from all over our region will become familiar with the awe-inspiring work of this artist who bridges the visual and performing arts with power, grace, and symmetry, and experience his realization of Puccini’s soaring Butterfly on stage. Join us as we celebrate the civic momentum and pride that enables world-class art in our city each season.
