Mozart, l'opera rock ("Mozart, the rock opera") is a French musical about the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart from age 17, using both original pop-rock compositions as well as existing music composed by Mozart.

The musical premiered on Sept 22, 2009 at the Palais des Sports de Paris and caused a huge sensation. With the engaging narrative, vivid characters and breathtaking costume and stage design, this musical was deemed as "a real revolution in musical theatre". The musical starts with the young, 17-year-old Mozart. It then uses rock music to introduce the opportunities and difficulties he encountered when he struggled to earn acknowledgment in the world of music. From his hometown Salzburg to Mannheim, from Paris to Vienna, his musical talent led him to break free from the prejudice people held toward German operas and the limitation of his time. He dedicated his life to his gift for music.
