Mozart! is an Austrian musical, originally written in German. The original book and lyrics were written by Michael Kunze and the music and arrangements were composed by Sylvester Levay. The show reinterprets the life of the famous composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It presents him as a complex figure shaped by both extraordinary genius and personal struggle.

Freudiana is a rock opera by Eric Woolfson. It was to be the 11th album by the Alan Parsons Project, but during its development, Woolfson had creative differences with Alan Parsons, causing the Project's split. With the two still working together on the album, the 1990 production utilizes the Project's personnel as well as guest vocalists, making it the "unofficial" Project album. The Project's official 11th and final album would end up being The Sicilian Defence, later released in 2014 after being shelved for 36 years since its recording in 1979, as part of The Complete Albums box set.
