maltatoday, SUNDAY, 4 SEPTEMBER 2016 This Week 33 WHAT'S ON Underworld Rock opera inspired by Maltese folk tale monsters at Pjazza Teatru Rjal, Valletta at 20:00. Set in the darkest of times, when Turks pillaged and looted the Maltese islands, our story revolves around the Inguanez family and their three children: Lucia, Maria and Tinu. Lucia, the eldest, is betrothed to a young noble, Mikiel, despite being secretly in love with Ġamri, the baker's son, and the Inguanez family is confronted with a peculiar love triangle. Disaster strikes when the two younger children go missing, pulled down a well by Belliegħa, who is bored of her dull, monotonous life. Maria and Tinu find themselves in the underworld, home of forgotten mythical Maltese creatures, such as Babaw, Sarangu and Saħħar. Secrets come to light and the promise of hope returns, but the search for the children causes imbalance and shatters the barriers between the two worlds. Organised by DLS Productions.
