Synopsis

Act I

The people of Messina are preparing to meet the soldiers, led by Don Pedro the General, who defeated the enemy. Celebrations in honour of the winners are led by the governor of Messina, Leonato; in the square next to him is his daughter Hero and niece Béatrice. The girls ask about the fate of the young warriors. Hero eagerly awaits the return of her beloved Claudio and is delighted to hear of his bravery.

Good news awaits the wayward Béatrice: the object of her constant ridicule, Bénédict, returns with a medal for courage.
