Corporate bits | Riverdance begins 20th anniversary residency

Irish performance “Riverdance” has begun its residency at The Venetian Macao, as part of its “20th Anniversary World Tour”, which will see shows performed in the resort’s Venetian Theatre until February 5.

Riverdance is an innovative and exciting blend of dance and music that draws on Irish traditions, as well as the history and movement of the people of Ireland. It has been seen live by over 21 million people worldwide, according to a statement from Sands China.

The 20th Anniversary performances will feature new costumes, lighting design and projections as well as a brand new song titled “Anna Livia”, which will feature the dance troupe’s female cast members in an a cappella hard-shoe number.

During the past 20 years, the show has staged over 18,000 performances in more than 117 countries and regions, and has been described as an “Irish national treasure.” Its soundtrack has been recognized by the Grammy Awards as the “Best Musical Show Album” with over 11 million albums being sold.

CEM holds activity for the elders

With Chinese New Year around the corner, CEM yesterday organized 17 Ambassadors to accompany 18 elderly from Peng On Tung Association to take a test ride on electric vehicles (EVs).

Six of the senior citizens were the participants of “CEM Ambassadors 1+1 Elderly Program” held last year. This is the fourth year that CEM has joined hands with Peng On Tung Association to hold such activities prior to the Chinese New Year, according to the company’s press release.

This week, CEM Ambassadors set out from CEM Building driving EVs, and picked up the elderly before touring around the Taipa Houses Museum and taking photos there.

After that, CEM Ambassadors had a lunch together with the elders, and presented them with down vests to wish them good health.
