Due to the impact of novel coronavirus pandemic, many performers will not be able to visit Macao. The Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC, from the Portuguese acronym) decided to cancel the “Children’s Day Concert: Conductor’s Spellbook” and the Concert “Italian Romance”.

The two sessions of the “Children’s Day Concert: Conductor’s Spellbook” by the Macao Orchestra were originally scheduled for 30 May. Spectators who have purchased tickets for this concert may contact the Macau Ticketing Network outlets for refund procedures from today until 31 July. The free admission concert “Italian Romance” by the Macao Orchestra, originally scheduled for 8 May at the St. Dominic’s Church, will also be cancelled.

IC will continue to monitor the progress of the outbreak and make appropriate arrangements in due course. IC appeals to the public to follow the Macao SAR Government’s measures to combat the pandemic: Let's all persist; remember to wash hands frequently; wear a face mask properly; avoid crowd gathering; maintain a distance; declare health condition; reduce leaving Macao.
