- SJM launched the prelude residency show The Adventures of ALICE @ Grand Lisboa Palace Resort Macau in April.
- The show is the first of many residency shows set to debut at Grand Lisboa Palace Resort Macau in the summer.
SJM Resorts, S.A. has launched its brand-new residency show The Adventures of ALICE @ Grand Lisboa Palace Resort Macau, representing a prelude to a series of upcoming residency shows debuting in summer.
The perfomances, created in collaboration with Hong Kong Ballet (HKB) Artistic Director Septime Webre, are taking place at the South Atrium on Level 1 of Grand Lisboa Palace Resort Macau, with free admission.
Specially choreographed and directed by Webre, the production features a lively new score by celebrated composer Ng Cheuk-yin, striking costumes designed by Liz Vandal of Cirque du Soleil fame, ingenious stage effects and intimate audience engagement. The show is performed by an ensemble of HKB dancers alongside talent from Macau and the Greater Bay Area.
SJM conducted multiple open auditions earlier this year to recruit passionate dancers from Macau and the surrounding Greater Bay Area.
The initiative not only provides professional training, performance experience and skills development for aspiring artists but also nurtures new talent for the region’s ballet scene, further contributing to the area’s cultural vitality.
More residency shows are in the pipeline as part of SJM’s ongoing efforts to expand performance platforms and enrich Macau’s cultural landscape.
Daisy Ho, Managing Director of SJM, said, “SJM is committed to cultivating Macau’s arts and cultural ecosystem. This new residency venue offers a valuable stage for local performers while fostering exchanges with leading international production teams – raising the caliber of local talent and reinforcing Macau’s positioning as a ‘City of Performing Arts’.
“Presented in an engaging, community-oriented format, this production brings art closer to the people. It adds a fresh dimension to family-friendly entertainment in the city and enhances Macau’s appeal as a World Centre of Tourism and Leisure.”
