What were the two most popular rock operas of 1969?

Probably "Tommy" and "Jesus Christ Superstar" that's the only two I can think of.


Did Mozart used musical structures and relationships to add drama to the plot in his operas?

Indeed he did and two good examples are Don Giovanni and The Marriage of Figaro - see the links below regarding these two operas.


Has Hard rock music ever been known with a different name?

Hard rock is quite hard to define. Sometimes it is confused with heavy rock, but the two are slightly different (heavy rock is heavier and sometimes has more bass than hard rock). Also, the softer edge of hard rock bleeds into rock.


Who wrote great operas such as the marriage of figaro?

Mozart wrote The Marriage of Figaro (Le Nozze di Figaro). It is one of the two operas in the standard repertoire featuring Figaro as a character; the other is The Barber of Seville (Il Barbiere di Siviglia) by Gioacchino Rossini. Both of the operas are based on plays by Pierre Beaumarchais. Giovanni Paisiello made the Barber into an opera before Rossini did, but it hasn't had the success that Rossini's had. Mozart is the only composer to write operas in the standard repertoire in more than one language. The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni, and Cosi Fan Tutte are sung in Italian, while The Magic Flute (Die Zauberflote) and The Abduction from the Seraglio (Die Entfuhrung Aus Dem Serail) are sung in German. Mozart, in total, wrote twenty-two operas, but only those five are considered to be part of the standard repertoire; La Clemenza di Tito, which Mozart hadn't completed when he died and his pupil Sussmayr finished, is sometimes performed, as is Idomeneo.


Is the movie Chicago about the rock group Chicago?

Not at all. The film "Chicago" is adapted from the stage musical of the same name. It's about two female criminals in 1920s Chicago.
