JOHN MALKOVICH IN "THE MUSIC CRITIC"
Tallinn, Alexela Concert Hall
April 9, 2027
A show in which classical music, theatre, and comedy collide, written and conceived by Aleksey Igudesman.
Two-time Oscar® Nominee • Emmy® Award Winner • BAFTA Nominee • Three-time Golden Globe® Nominee • Co-founder of the legendary Steppenwolf Theatre Company
John Malkovich is one of the world's most celebrated actors, whose extraordinary career has spanned more than four decades across film, theatre and television.
Recognised worldwide for unforgettable performances in Dangerous Liaisons, In the Line of Fire, Con Air, Being John Malkovich, RED, The New Pope and many other internationally acclaimed productions, Malkovich has created some of cinema's most intelligent, charismatic and unforgettable characters. Whether portraying an elegant aristocrat, a brilliant villain or an eccentric intellectual, he is admired for his unmistakable voice, magnetic screen presence, exceptional versatility and rare ability to combine dramatic intensity with wit, irony and humanity.
A co-founder of Chicago's legendary Steppenwolf Theatre Company, Malkovich has remained deeply devoted to the stage throughout his career, earning international acclaim not only as an exceptional actor, but also as an accomplished theatre director and creative artist.
In The Music Critic, writer and composer Aleksey Igudesman fuses the sardonic, straight-faced humor for which legendary actor John Malkovich is renowned with his own personal brand of out-of-the-box zaniness and the depth and beauty of classical music.
Igudesman is determined to avenge some of the most brilliant works in music history — pieces that were railed against and reviled by critics at their premieres. In this evening-length show, Malkovich takes on the role of the ultimate critic, mercilessly battering, insulting, and ridiculing the music of composers including Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Brahms, Schumann, and many more — whose works were once greeted with jeers, scorn, and savage reviews.
John Malkovich says: "I have always loved the opportunity to collaborate on The Music Critic with Aleksey Igudesman and many other gifted and thoughtful musicians. We are all happy to be participating in an evening which consists of some of the greatest compositions in the history of classical music, paired with the perhaps rather unexpected initial reactions those compositions elicited from some of the world's renowned music critics, along with some other surprises."
Aleksey Igudesman says: "The Music Critic is a project very close to my heart. My dear friend John Malkovich, in the role of the evil critic, is despicable and lovable at the same time — and evokes the critic in every one of us."
