June 10 2019 - 8:14AM
Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited (“Melco”) announces the
continuation of “The House of Dancing Water” show, an award-winning
spectacle at City of Dreams Macau following its nine years of
success. Melco’s successful relation with Dragone started with the
premiere of “The House of Dancing Water” in 2010. With the initial
10-year contract up for renewal, Melco and Dragone have mutually
decided to continue the show under a new operational structure
launched under the new agreement.
Dragone’s founder and Italian theatre director
Mr. Franco Dragone will remain as the show’s artistic director and
will continue to oversee the artistic and creative direction of the
production whilst the show will be managed under a new independent
and separate artistic show management entity.
“The House of Dancing Water” is the world’s
largest water-based extravaganza that has been presented to almost
6 million guests from around the world since its debut in 2010. It
has been hailed as one of the world’s most imaginative and
awe-inspiring shows, featuring breathtaking acrobatic and aerial
performances, as well as stunning visual effects. The show has also
been known for its production scale, as it takes place in a
2,000-seat theatre, with nearly 100 international performers
working alongside 200 production staff, technicians and
professional divers, centred around a 19 million litre pool.
Mr. Lawrence Ho, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Melco Resorts & Entertainment,
said, “This is an exciting moment for Melco and we look forward to
our renewed cooperation with Franco Dragone under this arrangement,
as we continue to deliver this stunning performance to audiences
from around the world. This show has become one of the greatest
attractions for tourists in Macau, and I feel privileged that Melco
has had the opportunity to work with Dragone’s talented team for
the last decade and I believe we will continue to deliver even more
exhilarating performances for years to come. Our announcement today
further demonstrates our commitment to entertainment offerings and
our intention to deliver an amazing artistic and cultural
experience to our guests. We hope to do this in Macau but also
globally in our integrated resorts around the world.”
Mr. Franco Dragone, Artistic Director
and Founder of Dragone, said, “I am honored that our show
and collaboration with Melco has flourished thanks to the immense
success of The House of Dancing Water; onto the next phase of our
relationship. Together we have become true citizens of the cultural
landscape of Macau with a reach that extends well beyond.
“Thanks to the vision and engagement of Mr.
Lawrence Ho and Melco Resorts and Entertainment, there now exists a
platform for development of both of our organizations and a field
ripe with exciting prospects and endless possibilities.”
