The highlight of Winter Venice is the dazzling “Seasons of Fantasy” 3D light show, which will be performed free of charge every evening from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM at The Venetian’s outdoor lakeside area, with shows every 30 minutes lasting about 10 minutes each. Covering an area of more than 4,000 square meters, the light show features the four seasons — spring, summer, autumn, and winter — accompanied by beautiful music, projecting the magical changes of nature onto the exterior walls of The Venetian’s main building. Visitors can enjoy an unprecedented visual spectacle. Gondola rides will also be available on weekend evenings, allowing guests to cruise the outdoor lake while admiring the light show.

The outdoor areas of The Venetian Macao will be decorated under the theme of “Winter Venice,” featuring sparkling lights and festive displays, along with Macau’s largest outdoor Christmas tree in the lakeside area. Amid the joyful holiday ambiance, visitors can also show off their moves on the only outdoor artificial ice rink on the Cotai Strip, and interact with or take photos with street performers including the Snow Queen, the Nutcracker Army, and magicians.
In addition, the world-renowned “Swan Lake on Ice” will premiere at the Venetian Theatre, starring elite skaters from around the globe who have won Olympic, World, European, and national championship medals, led by the internationally acclaimed Moscow ice performance troupe Imperial Ice Stars. The performance combines figure skating, Tchaikovsky’s classical compositions, and a meticulously designed ice stage set by renowned Australian stage designer Eamon D’Arcy. Other exciting live performances at the Venetian Theatre include a concert by Grammy Award-winning band The Commodores. The CotaiArena will also host concerts by several famous Asian pop singers and bands, including Korean group 2PM and Hong Kong singer Hacken Lee.
