This year’s Festival also invites a number of rising stars from music sector, including the leading chamber ensembles in South Korea, Novus String Quartet, young Russian Pianist Lukas Geniušas and American jazz singer Jazzmeia Horn hailed as “the future of Jazz”, among others, summoning international emerging stars to showcase their talents on Macao’s stage.
In addition, a choir from South Africa brings songs brimming with African customs, while the local opera premiered at the Festival last year will return to stage with a new version, A Fragrant Dream, this year. They are certainly the shows that audience members must not miss.
