Description: Antiochus, best friend and comrade-in-arms to Titus, has come to bid Berenice farewell before returning to Palestine. She obliges him to reveal the reason for his sudden departure. He confesses that he has loved her for the past five years. Swearing him to silence, she accepts his departure. For it is on this very day that Titus must render official their relationship and ask her to be his empress. But the loyal Arsace reveals to Titus that under Roman law, he cannot wed a non-Roman woman. Berenice is a foreigner... "Berenice" is a tragedy in which Racine's art finds its expression in the anticipation of avowals and farewells.
