Thank you for joining us for the World Premiere of "MOMOTARO"!
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who attended the World Premiere of "MOMOTARO," produced by Pacific Northwest Ballet.
It was a profound honor to bring this classic Japanese folktale to life through the powerful fusion of ballet and live Taiko drumming. We hope the resonance of the drums and the elegance of the dancers left a lasting impression on your hearts.
We would also like to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone at PNB for this incredible opportunity, and to choreographer Jessica Lang and story adapter Kanji Segawa for their visionary leadership and collaboration in bringing this story to the stage.
Looking ahead, we hope to have many more opportunities to create ballet productions that bring Japanese stories to life through the unique sounds of traditional Japanese instruments！
