Get Ready for the 35th Macao Arts Festival: Tickets Available on Mar. 22

After a hiatus of almost five years, the legendary House of Dancing Water is finally making its grand return to the City of Dreams Macau in May! 

The original production was halted in November 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic but is set to wow audiences once again with its breathtaking aquatic stunts, gravity-defying acrobatics, and stunning choreography.

Staged in the purpose-built Dancing Water Theater, the show takes place in a one-of-a-kind setting, featuring a massive pool that holds an astonishing 3.7 million gallons of water (equivalent to five Olympic-sized swimming pools!). 

With a production budget surpassing RMB2 billion and a cast and crew of nearly 300 members from over 30 countries, "House of Dancing Water" promises a theatrical experience unlike any other.

A recent press conference gave fans a sneak peek at what’s to come, with the cast appearing in full costume for a mesmerizing parade curated by Giuliano Peparini, Artistic Director of the show. 

This fearless new chapter of the reimagined show will tell the story of a brave stranger who stumbles into a mystical kingdom, embarking on a daring mission to rescue Princess Aani from the clutches of the Dark Queen.  

Meanwhile, an exciting new feature is a pre-show interaction, where performers will engage directly with the audience — blurring the lines between stage and spectator.

Having already captivated audiences in nearly 4,000 performances worldwide, House of Dancing Water is ready to reclaim its place as one of the most spectacular live shows globally. 

Tickets go on sale starting Mar. 10, 2025. Stay tuned on their official website and visit City of Dreams on Instagram and Facebook for more updates. 

Fans who missed the Hong Kong leg of the AAA Tour can rejoice, because Hyukoh and Sunset Rollercoaster haven’t hit the brakes yet! In fact, they will be bringing their sensational collaboration to Macau! 

The two acclaimed indie bands will perform at the Broadway Theatre on March 29, 2025, promising an unforgettable night of captivating music. 

Hyukoh, the South Korean indie quartet, consists of Oh Hyuk (vocalist and guitarist), Im Dong-geon (bassist), Lim Hyun-jae (guitarist), and Lee In-woo (drummer). Known for their introspective lyrics and genre-blending sound, the band has garnered a massive following across Asia and beyond. 

Joining them is Taiwan’s Sunset Rollercoaster, a five-piece ensemble featuring Kuo-Hung Tseng, who is the vocalist and guitarist, Hung Li-chen, Shao-Hsuan Wang, Tsun-Lung Lo, and Hao-Ting Huang, playing an eclectic range of instruments that make up their unique sound. The group’s dreamy, retro-inspired sound has made them a standout act in the indie music scene.

The collaboration between Hyukoh and Sunset Rollercoaster began in 2020 when the Taiwanese band released a remake of Hyukoh’s track “Help.” 

Their musical synergy deepened over the years, with Hyukoh’s lead vocalist featuring on Sunset Rollercoaster’s song “Candlelight," and culminating in the release of their joint album AAA in 2023. The eight-track record, their first full-length project in four years, is a testament to their creative partnership.  

Tickets for the Macau show are priced at MOP1288, MOP1088, MOP888, and MOP688. The public sale began on Feb. 18, 2025 via Galaxy Ticketing here.

Bask in the moxie and beauty of Neo-Expressionism, as integrated entertainment resort City of Dreams Macau and multi-dimensional art space Artelli is hosting the “Crowning Journey” exhibit featuring the legendary artist Jean-Michel Basquiat's work.

From today until Nov. 24 at The Showroom at City of Dreams, art lovers in Macau can witness the celebrated icon’s works that embody his bold and innovative spirit, as well as his inspiring journey from being a street artist to a legend in the world of art.

The exhibition features large-scale art installations, immersive and interactive experiences, and multimedia art that will take the spectators into Basquiat’s world. This includes a cluster of art installations that are reminiscent of the 1980s New York cityscapes, where he had his humble beginnings, located at the venue's main portal.

A seven-meter-tall dinosaur-shaped installation also dazzles the venue, which is inspired by one of Basquiat’s most recognizable artworks from 1984, the “Pez Dispenser,” also known as the “Dinosaur with Crown.”

Over at the Southwest Entrance, a ten-meter outdoor installation inspired by the artist’s “Brown Spots (Portraits of Andy Warhol as a Banana)” likewise brightens the exhibition. The Showroom at City of Dreams’ façade is also adorned with a ten-meter-wide canvas with a six-meter-tall crown perched atop, inspired by Basquiat’s “Grillo.”

Visitors can also get their hands on various exclusive merchandise, which includes an art puzzle, a postcard set, and a Mahjong set.

Jean-Michel Basquiat is one of the most celebrated artists of the 20th century, known for infusing avant-garde style with social commentary on his works.

City of Dreams Macau and Artelli’s “Crowning Journey” exhibit is open to the public from 11 AM to 8 PM, while its outdoor installations will be on display for 24 hours daily. For more information, click here.
