Debrecen is not only a beautiful town in the eastern part of Hungary, but it also has a famous university. John Malkovich already knows this, as well, because the Academy Award-nominated actor visited the town and also the university.

This was not his only reason to visit Debrecen: Malkovich present his newest show ‘The Music Critic’, as well. In the production, he slips into the role of the evil music critic who believes the music of Beethoven, Chopin, Prokofiev and the likes to be weary and dreary.
