maltatoday | SUNDAY • 19 JANUARY 2020 14 LISTINGS WHAT'S ON Theatre TODAY The Sleeping Beauty Eden Cinema will be screen- ing the stunning production of The Sleeping Beauty, a classic Russian ballet that established The Royal Ballet both in its new home after World War II and as a world-class company. Fast-for- ward sixty years, the original staging was revived, returning Oliver Messel's wonderful de- signs and glittering costumes to the stage. Pyotr Il'yich Tchaik- ovsky's enchanting music and Marius Petipa's original chore- ography beautifully combine with sections created for The Royal Ballet by Frederick Asht- on, Anthony Dowell and Chris- topher Wheeldon. Watch Aurora awaken from eternal slumber by true love's kiss on the big screen today. 31 JANUARY - 9 FEBRUARY The Importance of Being Earnest Get set for a true theatrical treat as the MADC and Teatru Manoel, bring you one of the best comedies ever written.
