May: 19th Macao Arts Festival

This annual event is a gathering of the world's elite artists. Featuring more than 30 performances by artists from Israel, India, Mexico, the Netherlands, Spain, Canada and South Korea, the Festival season would not be complete without the ever-present spirit of performers from Macao and the Chinese mainland, as well.

In a clear show of support for local talent, Macao artists this year are given the opportunity to debut works reflecting the region's own performing arts scene, while on the international front, the Festival reaffirms itself as a window to the latest creative trends to emerge on stages the world over. The program brings together theater, multimedia arts, dance and music in a selection extending as well to lesser-known Asian traditions like Indian classical dance.
