Berenice

Ancient name for the Libyan city of Benghazi.

Berenice

Opera by Handel (libretto by A Salvi), first produced at Covent Garden, London, England, on 18 May 1737. The complex plot concerns the love problems of the Egyptian queen Berenice before her marriage to Alexander; politics, jealousy, and anger are happily resolved in the end.

There is also an earlier opera on the same subject by Giacomo Perti (libretto by A Salvi), first produced at the Villa Pratolino near Florence, Italy, in September 1709.
