The story

Macao Arts Festival in Macao

Running for more than three decades, Macao's Arts Festival is a multi-week spring-into-summer programme of theatre, dance, Cantonese opera and visual arts, organized by the Cultural Affairs Bureau and spread across the Macao Cultural Centre and neighbourhood outreach venues, pairing international touring productions with Macao's own performing arts scene.

Macao's Arts Festival has run for well over three decades, growing from a local cultural showcase into a multi-week international performing arts programme that spans theatre, dance, Cantonese opera and visual arts each spring into early summer.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's genuine distinguishing feature is its multi-discipline, multi-scale range within one compact city: editions have combined large touring ballet or dance productions with intimate single-performer theatre works and community outreach shows staged outside the main cultural district, a spread not every performing arts festival attempts

02

The mystery stays covered

With more than thirty editions run under the Cultural Affairs Bureau since its founding, and because Macao's venues sit within easy reach of each other, visitors can move between a large ensemble production and a small-scale solo piece within the same trip, a logistical ease uncommon at festivals spread across a larger city
