Jun Kaneko - Opening March 28, 2010

Opera Omaha commissioned Jun Kaneko to create the sets, costumes, lighting and projections for Puccini’s opera Madama Butterfly. Kaneko’s new interpretation of the opera is now traveling the world; the Atlanta Opera opened its 2008-2009 season with Jun Kaneko’s Madama Butterfly.

The Jun Kaneko exhibition at the Museum of Arts and Sciences is part of a ten city national tour and features thirty nine ceramic artworks, paintings and works on paper from the collection of the Kaneko Studio. The exhibition was curated by Jun Kaneko and is managed by Smith Kramer Fine Art Services.
