Pyrrhus is an opera by the French composer Joseph-Nicolas-Pancrace Royer, first performed at the Académie Royale de Musique (the Paris Opera) on 26 October 1730. It takes the form of a tragédie en musique in a prologue and five acts. The libretto, by Fermelhuis, is based on the Greek myth of Pyrrhus, son of Achilles.
