Koukourgi is a 1792 French-language comic opera by Cherubini to a libretto by Mélesville père, which was not performed in Cherubini's lifetime. The music was laid up for nearly forty years till four numbers were re-used in Ali Baba; ou, les Quarante Voleurs of 1833, to a libretto by Mélesville fils, Eugène Scribe, and with additional new music by the then elderly Cherubini. The opera was reconstructed and premiered in celebration of the composer's 250th anniversary at theStadttheater Klagenfurt in 2010.
