RISM does list choral parts; doesn't seem to exist in the NMA version. The list of dramatis personæ has choral parts that may relate to the parts of the libretto never composed by Mozart.
Selections were published in 1860, complete vocal score in 1861. See Monatsbericht (1860), p.190, Monatsbericht (1861), p.90.
