Macau has a rich and varied cultural life reflecting both its Chinese and Portuguese heritage, although (given Macau's small size) most events are shared between a handful of venues. The Dom Pedro V Theatre hosts drama productions and classical and chamber music concerts, as do the Ho Lai lun Va Brito Theatre and the Clementina Leitao Ho Brito Theatre.

Seasonal orchestral concerts, particularly during Christmas and Easter, are held inside the fabulous Sao Domingos Church on Senado Square.

All the above venues are managed by the Macau Cultural Affairs Bureau (tel: 399 6699; website: www.icm.gov.mo/om), but tickets for these venues can also be booked through www.macauticket.com
