Get ready for a month-long celebration of creativity as the 35th Macao Arts Festival takes center stage from Apr. 25 to May 31, 2025.

Organized by the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC), this year’s festival promises a dynamic program of theatre, Chinese opera, dance, music, and visual arts, featuring both local and international talent. 

Tickets go on sale at 10 AM on Mar. 22, 2025. One of the biggest highlights of this year’s lineup is "Life of Pi," the five-time Olivier Award-winning theatrical adaptation of Yann Martel’s bestselling novel, making a highly anticipated East Asian debut. 

Also bringing international flair is "Tap Fado," an energetic and rhythmic production by renowned Portuguese choreographers Jonas and Lander, blending traditional Fado music with contemporary dance.

The festival also showcases powerful narratives from across cultures. Deling and Cixi, written by celebrated playwright He Jiping, offers a gripping exploration of power in the Qing dynasty court’s private chambers. Fans of Studio Ghibli films will be delighted to see Kiki’s Delivery Service on the program, brought to life with a magical musical adaptation. 

Local productions are also in the spotlight, with the contemporary theatrical drama "Let No One Sleep" and "What’s the Deal?" which capture the essence of "Patuá Theatre," a type of performance art recognized as a national intangible cultural heritage of Macao.

Beyond the performances, festivalgoers can engage with the arts through 33 outreach activities, including backstage tours, pre-show talks, and interactive workshops. 

These experiences offer audiences a rare glimpse behind the curtain, deepening their appreciation for the craft and storytelling that define the festival.

Tickets are coming out soon through Enjoy Macao’s ticketing outlets and website, starting from MOP120. For more information on the full program, visit Enjoy Macao's website.

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.
