Event planners considering Macao for future events can explore immersive performances like Macau 2049 and the world-renowned House of Dancing Water as part of their event itineraries.

Scheduled for a return to the Melco’s flagship resort City of Dreams complex this May, House of Dancing Water is a world-renowned aquatic show that blends acrobatics, dance and stunning visuals. Described as a spectacle, the reimagined show has been a key draw for tourists and event attendees alike since its debut. The revamped show will feature a 270-degree circular performance theater with a cutting-edge technological pool stage in the center, alongside a water-powered elevator that will be used in conjunction with a sophisticated lighting and sound system.

Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Zhang Yimou, Macau 2049 is an 80-minute, immersive show that combines China's cultural heritage with advanced technology. The show is running at the MGM Theater at MGM Cotai, offering a unique experience that integrates live performances across eight segments, blending traditional art with cutting-edge technology to provide an unforgettable experience for visitors. The show will run until 31 August 2025, making it a potential highlight for delegates attending MICE events in the region.
