The remaining 50 workers at the House of Dancing Water show in the City of Dreams have been laid off, according to TDM Radio.
In November last year, work permits of 137 foreign employees working at The House of Dancing Water— an internationally acclaimed show that has been suspended since June 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic — were not renewed.
A recently dismissed employee of the show confirmed to the Times that they were called to a meeting and was informed about the notice. However, despite being dismissed from the show, he was offered a job at Melco.
In a reply to the Times, the City of Dreams remarked, “The pandemic has had a major impact on the entertainment industry. Given current travel restrictions, The House of Dancing Water show will continue on a hiatus for longer than previously anticipated.”
“The colleagues who have been working in support of the theatre and remained employed since the show was suspended have been offered alternatives. Most were presented new career opportunities and will be transferred to other positions within the group,” the firm added. LV
