map magazine proudly supports Brisbane Festival: Don’t miss Mariza, the reigning diva of world music, as she performs Portugal’s traditional music ‘Fado’. It has been said that time stands still when Mariza sings, which is probably why the organisers of such momentous events as the Olympic Games, the FIFA World Cup and Live 8 chose her to enthrall their audiences. BBC Radio put it best in saying, “Every word is sung with intense concentration, every note hit flawlessly. When she pauses for dramatic effect, we are all with her, caught in her trap.” For one night only Mariza will fill QPAC’s Concert Hall with the poetry, elegance and the yearning of Fado. Book now via qtix 136 246 or www.brisbanefestival.com for details. Photography by Isabel Pinto.
