Dardanus is an opera in four acts by Antonio Sacchini. It was first performed at Versailles, on the 18th of September, 1784. The libretto was adapted by Nicolas-François Guillard from that of Jean-Philippe Rameau's earlier opera of the same name.
Music from Dardanus was used in the film Jefferson in Paris. Extracts from the opera appeared on the soundtrack CD, conducted by William Christie with Jean-Paul Fouchécourt singing the title role.
