Alexandre et Roxane was a two-act French language opera to be written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1778 in Paris.[1] [2] The opera never came to fruition, although it has been suggested that the music for Jean-Georges Noverre's ballet Les petits riens, K. Anh. 10/299b, also from 1778, was originally composed for the projected opera.
The subject of the libretto was Alexander the Great and his marriage to the Bactrian noble Roxana.
