Organised by the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC, from the Portuguese acronym), the 35th Macao Arts Festival (MAF) presents a series of performances, and tickets are available through the Enjoy Macao Ticketing. The Organiser held a press meeting about the perfromance Deling and Cixi today (22 May) at the Macao Cultural Centre, in which the main cast members, Jiang Shan, Lang Ling and Xiao Yuliang, as well as the playwright, He Jiping, met with the media, sharing their thoughts and presenting the highlights of the show, and guided the media in a visit to the backstage.
