Classical music's bad boy gets the glittery Takarazuka treatment—wigs, drama, and power ballads included.
A dramatization of the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart beginning from the age of 17 culminating with his death in 1791 at the age of 35. It uses both original pop-rock compositions as well as pre-existing music composed by Mozart and other composers, including Antonio Salieri. Based on the French musical "Mozart, l'opéra rock" first performed in 2009.
Production
Takarazuka's signature all-female casting flipping gender dynamics gloriously.
Score
Mozart bangers remixed into pop-rock earworms you didn't ask for.
Costume
18th-century fashion dragged through a disco ball and somehow winning.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Takarazuka Revue's 100+ year tradition of women playing male leads (otokoyaku) adds fascinating layers to Mozart's hyper-masculine genius myth.
The original 2009 French production starred Mikelangelo Loconte, whose Mozart became a genuine pop culture phenomenon—this Takarazuka version is essentially a glittery fan tribute with official blessing.
