It also demonstrates Melco’s belief in the city’s diversification and its contribution to the Greater Bay Area,” Evan Winkler, President of Melco Resorts & Entertainment.
“It’s my pleasure to cooperate with Studio City Macau once more. My performance for the grand opening of Studio City Event Centre in 2015 and large-scale show with electrifying stage effects was hosted here in 2019. Asia’s first-ever residency show project in Macau to be hosted this year will be innovative and striking. My team and I have already designed a brand new multi-intelligent stage with a rundown of classic songs. I look forward to presenting an exhilarating and beautiful dance performance to the audience with the very top on-stage visual effects,” said Hong Kong artist Aaron Kwok.
