Exchange Japan 2012 is proud to announce the conclusion of its online opera lottery event. We were given the privilege of offering away 10 tickets to the acclaimed opera Madame Butterfly by Giacomo Puccini. The winners of our sweepstakes received two tickets each to attend a showing of Madame Butterfly at Folkoperan in Stockholm. Folkoperan has re-envisioned the classic tale of a young Japanese woman hopelessly smitten by an American officer and put it in a modern context. You can find our official lottery event flier here.

We would like to thank Folkoperan for donating the opera tickets, and we strongly encourage everyone to check out their new opera offering, Julius Caesar, coming in the Spring of 2012. More information can be found here.

The Exchange Japan 2012 project group is proud to unveil its annual website update. Over the duration of the project, this site will be the portal of all relevant information, developments, and events for Exchange Japan 2012. Welcome!
