Pygmalion is a monodrama in one act by composer Georg Benda with a German libretto by Friedrich Wilhelm Gotter. The opera's first performance was at the , the court theatre in Gotha, on 20 September 1779. Pygmalion was the fourth of the five theatrical collaborations of Benda and Gotter. Gotter based his text on Jean-Jacques Rousseau's 1762 play Pygmalion. Benda's melodrama is unusual as it has no singing roles. Two of the three characters, Pygmalion and Galatea, are spoken roles; the other, Venus, is silently acted on stage.

- Pygmalion är ett monodrama i en akt med musik av Georg Benda och libretto av Friedrich Wilhelm Gotter. Operan hade premiär den 20 september 1779 på Ekhof Theater i Gotha. Pygmalion var det fjärde samarbetet mellan Benda och Gotter. Gotter byggde sin text på Jean-Jacques Rousseaus pjäs Pygmalion från 1762. Bendas melodram är ovanlig i det avseendet att den har tre karaktärer men endast en talroll. De övriga två utförs stumt av skådespelare. (sv)
