Yesterday was the dress rehearsal for Cirque du Soleil’s first Macau show.
Selected media and friends were treated to a sneak preview of the 1 1/2 hour performance at the Venetian Macao, in a custom built stage.
Now, we don’t want to give too much away, but you can expect thrilling feats of strength, agility and grace.
During some of the high wire performances, my heart was in my mouth. Another friend remarked that she was too terrified that the performer would fall to applause.
Kudos to the set designers who did a fantastic job with the setting, which transformed from a cityscape with high rise buildings in one scene, to a north pole setting complete with icebergs and even the most realistic adorable polar bear I’ve ever seen!
The unofficial after-party was at Bellini Lounge at the Venetian, where the cast and crew packed the dance floor.
The show will be launched to the public from this Saturday (July 26).
Here’s to many more sucessful shows and full houses.

This July, Eason Chan is going to hold 2 concerts in Macau!!
Eason Chan is acknowledged as a skilled-class singer in Hong Kong, you would have no doubt about his strength once you have a look of the awards he has won. He is a frequent winner of Asia’s music awards; and only the second non-Taiwanese singer after Jacky Cheung to win Taiwan’s Golden Melody Award.
Eason Chan is very keen on trying a wide variety of musical styles, and always be energetic on stage. His songs can be very sad like “K 歌之王” (King of Karaoke Songs), but also can be wild as “打得火熱” (Hit On Fire).
I believe that his concert at Venetian Macau must give his fans and me an unforgettable memory.
Stay tuned, for pictures of Eason’s concerts in Macau!!
You heard right!

Miguel Quental digs through the trash on a regular basis. But he’s not some homeless hobo trying to find a few cans or leftovers for dinner. The well-dressed and perfectly mannered man is actually a law lecturer at Macau University.
The avid environmentalist feels bringing his own bag to the supermarket or recycling office papers is not enough. He’s digging through the trash for A greenie’s treasure – in this case, discarded posters advertising everything from Celine Dion to Swan Lake and a Chinese calligraphy exhibition.
Miguel and his business partner Sofia Bobone use these discarded gems to create Macau Banner Bags – a one of a kind fashion statement which is a unique piece of Macau. Because once the posters are finished, there is no way of recreating the exact same bag.
So far, there are designs for both men and women. Other than having the satisfaction of owning a unique Macau accessory Miguel says the buyer can also have the satisfaction of knowing that they’ve saved a poster from harming the environment, possibly from clogging up a drain, getting entangled in wildlife, or turning into hazardous fumes while being incinerated.
He hopes that buyers will come to see the Macau Banner Bags as proud badge to advocate an environmentally friendly lifestyle. Ranging in price from MOP150 to MOP200, the bags are extremely affordable – because they are priced just to cover the cost of production.
More than 200 bags have been made, including posters from the Macau Grand Prix, Macau Tower and featuring the Ruins of St. Pauls. What he’ll come up with next, is really anyone’s guess because Miguel’s only source of materials is the garbage.
The Macau Banner Bags are available at address in S Domingos 18-22 Livraria Portuguesa.
