Synopsis

Act I

In the Sicilian town of Messina, the citizens are gathered to welcome Don Pedro, prince of Aragon, who is about to return from a successful military campaign. L茅onato, the governor, arrives with his niece B茅atrice and his daughter H茅ro, who eagerly anticipates the return of her beloved Claudio, Don Pedro鈥檚 comrade in arms. When Don Pedro and his troops arrive, the wedding of H茅ro and Claudio is announced for that evening. Meanwhile, H茅ro鈥檚 cousin B茅atrice has a very different kind of reunion with another soldier, B茅n茅dict. The pair lose no time in resuming their longstanding 鈥榤erry war鈥�, trading taunts and wisecracks.

Somarone, the local music master, arrives with his musicians to rehearse the wedding song he has composed, a ham-handed double fugue.

B茅n茅dict swears to Claudio and Don Pedro that he will never marry. His friends, however, conspire to trick B茅atrice and B茅n茅dict into admitting their love for one another. They stage a conversation for B茅n茅dict to overhear in which L茅onato tells Pedro that B茅atrice loves B茅n茅dict. Upon hearing this, B茅n茅dict admits to himself that he loves B茅atrice and resolves to pursue her.

H茅ro and her attendant Ursule have meanwhile hatched a similar plot, having arranged for B茅atrice to overhear a conversation about B茅n茅dict鈥檚 love for her. H茅ro and Ursula rhapsodise about the beauty of the evening and the bliss of love.

Act II

At the wedding celebration for H茅ro and Claudio, Somarone leads the guests in song. All are making merry except B茅atrice, who admits to herself that she is in love with B茅n茅dict, though she is loath to give up her freedom. B茅atrice joins H茅ro and Ursule in extolling the joys of impending marriage. As H茅ro is summoned to her wedding, B茅atrice runs into B茅n茅dict. The two, though smitten, continue to bait one another.

As Claudio and H茅ro sign their marriage contract, the notary produces a second contract and asks if another couple wishes to be married. B茅atrice and B茅n茅dict confess their true feelings and sign the wedding contract, declaring that today a truce is signed but the war may continue tomorrow.
