Roll Over Beethoven: John Malkovich & Orchester Wiener Akademie

Internationally acclaimed actor John Malkovich brings his charismatic stage presence to this vivid theatrical portrait of Ludwig van Beethoven. Roll Over Beethoven draws on the emotional force of the composer’s letters to reveal a man caught between resignation and rebellion, love and fury. Across eight psychologically driven episodes, Malkovich gives voice to a Beethoven who moves between eruptive anger, biting wit, intimate reflection and yearning lyricism. Martin Haselböck and the period‑instrument Orchester Wiener Akademie heighten every emotional turn with musical excerpts from Egmont, The Creatures of Prometheus and Beethoven’s symphonies.
