Abstract

The French musical Mozart-l'Opéra Rock is a romantic musical genre work with Mozart as the narrator. It premiered in 2009, with lyrics by Dove Attia and others, composed by Vincent Baguian et al. Romanticism is an ideological and cultural movement, like realism, both are the product of Western bourgeois society in the 18th and 19th centuries. Romanticism takes the pursuit of ideals as its creative focus, and creates fantastic artistic images with strong subjective lyricism. In terms of expression, fantastic fantasy, strong contrast, brilliant colors, high rhythm, exaggerated language, and bizarre plots are often used. The text analyzes the romanticism from three aspects: the creative group of the work, the lyrics and lines, and the stage performance.
