It will then run at the Elgin Theatre in Toronto from June 7-9.
Described as a “fusion of opera and theatre,” The Giacomo Variations is written by Michael Sturminger with musical concept by Martin Haselbock.
The show, which includes a 45-piece orchestra, had its world premiere in January 2011 in Vienna, Austria.
The two-time Oscar-nominated Malkovich made his first foray into the world of opera in 2008 with The Infernal Comedy, which he continues to tour internationally.
Malkovich was in Montreal last year shooting scenes for Red 2 and was previously in Toronto to shoot scenes for Red.
