Mr Dragone says that his team had been working on reimagining the show for a while now. But unfortunately he cannot come to Macau nor can any of his team.
Macau casino operator Melco Resorts and Entertainment Ltd has confirmed that some jobs will be lost as the company will be extending the closure of The House of Dancing Water for “several months” into 2021. The resident production at the City of Dreams Macau casino resort was suspended on June 18, initially until January 2021.
The show was to be revamped by its creative director Franco Dragone, in order to provide an “unprecedented and further-enhanced entertainment experience,” according to a June press release.
In a Sunday statement, Melco Resorts said that due to travel restrictions linked to the global pandemic, Mr Dragone and his team had “been unable to come to Macau and therefore the show will remain closed for the next several months.”
“Under these circumstances, colleagues whose work permits are expiring during the show hiatus will be departing,” added the company.
A Melco Resorts spokesperson confirmed that an aggregate of 137 non-resident workers would be leaving the show. A small number of non-resident workers and people holding Macau ID will remain with the company and “continue to support the activities” currently held at The House of Dancing Water theatre, added the firm.
