Arvire et Évélina is a French-language opera by Antonio Sacchini, premiered posthumously at the Académie Royale de Musique (the Paris Opéra) on 29 April 1788. It takes the form of a tragédie lyrique in three acts. The libretto, by Nicolas-François Guillard, is based on the dramatic poem Caractacus (1759) by William Mason. It was Sacchini's last opera and the score was left incomplete at the time of the composer's sudden death in October 1786. The missing music was written by Jean-Baptiste Rey.
