10,000 cranes

In Japanese lore, one who folds one thousand origami cranes will have a wish fulfilled.  Following that tradition, Opera Fairbanks invites you to send your positive wish to our organization along with a suggested donation of $1.00 or more - we will fold one crane for each donation received.  Our goal is to reach ten thousand cranes, which will be featured at the production of Madama Butterfly in April 2008, and ultimately in the Opera Fairbanks offices.
