RE: Gehry to design Mariza stage
Hi!
I just discovered your blog and am enjoying it a great deal.
My husband is from Madeira, and we are fortunate enough to have tickets to see Mariza in Los Angeles when she will perform at Frank Gehry’s Disney Hall. It will be fantastic! Thanks for posting the article.
Oh how lucky you are to be going to see Mariza! I’m sure you will have a wonderful time. Glad you are enjoying the blog - Obridada
