  Synopsis:
  
  Act 1
  
  At the abandoned Greek camp outside the walls
of Troy
  
  The Trojans are celebrating apparent deliverance from ten years of siege. They see the large
wooden horse left by the Greeks, which they presume to be an offering to Pallas Athene. Unlike all the other Trojans,
however, Cassandre is mistrustful of the situation. She foresees that she will not live to marry her fiancé,
Chorèbe. Chorèbe appears and urges Cassandre to forget her misgivings. But her prophetic vision clarifies, and she
foresees the utter destruction of Troy. When Andromache silently walks in, the celebration halts.
  
 
Énée then rushes on to tell of the devouring of the priest Laocoön by a sea serpent, after he had warned the
Trojans to burn the horse. Énée interprets this as a sign of the goddess Athene's anger at the sacrilege. Against
Cassandre's futile protests, Priam orders the horse to be brought within the city of Troy and placed next to the temple
of Pallas Athene. There is a sound of what seems to be the clashing of arms from within the horse, but the Trojans, in
their delusion, interpret it as a happy omen. Cassandre has watched the procession in despair, and as the act ends,
resigns herself to death beneath the walls of Troy.
  
  Act 2
  
  Before the act proper has
started, the Greek soldiers hidden in the wooden horse have come out and begun to destroy Troy and its citizens.
 

  Scene 1: Palace of Énée
  With fighting going on in the background, the ghost of Hector visits
Énée and warns him to flee Troy for Italy, where he will build a new Troy. After Hector fades, Panthée conveys
the news about the Greeks hidden in the horse. Ascagne appears with news of further destruction. At the head of a band
of soldiers, Chorèbe urges Énée to take up arms for battle. All resolve to defend Troy to the death.
 

  Scene 2: Palace of Priam
  Several of the Trojan women are praying at the altar of Vesta/Cybele for their
soldiers to receive divine aid. Cassandre reports that Énée and other Trojan warriors have rescued Priam's palace
treasure and relieved people at the citadel. She prophesies that Énée and the survivors will found a new Troy in
Italy. But she also says that Chorèbe is dead, and resolves to die. The other women acknowledge the correctness of
Cassandre's prophecies and their error in dismissing her. Cassandre then calls upon the Trojan women to join her in
death, to prevent being defiled by the invading Greeks. One group of women admits to fear of death, and Cassandre
dismisses them from her sight. The remaining women unite with Cassandre in determination to die. A Greek captain
observes the women during this scene with admiration for their courage. Greek soldiers then come on the scene, demanding
the Trojan treasure from the women. Cassandre defiantly mocks the soldiers, then suddenly stabs herself. Polyxène
takes the same dagger and does likewise. The remaining women scorn the Greeks as too late to find the treasure, and
commit mass suicide, to the soldiers' horror. Cassandre summons one last cry of "Italy!" before collapsing, dead.
 

  Act 3
  
  Didon's throne-room at Carthage
  
  The Carthaginians and their queen, Didon,
are celebrating the prosperity that they have achieved in the past seven years since fleeing from Tyre to found a new
city. Didon, however, is concerned about Iarbas, the Numidian king, not least because he has proposed a political
marriage with her. The Carthaginians swear their defence of Didon, and the builders, sailors and farmers offer tribute
to Didon.
  
  In private after these ceremonies, Didon and Anna then discuss love. Anna urges Didon to
remarry, but Didon insists on honoring the memory of her late husband Sichée (Sychaeus). Iopas then enters to tell of
an unknown fleet that has arrived in port. Recalling her own wandering on the seas, Didon bids that these strangers be
welcome. Ascagne enters, presents the saved treasure of Troy, and relates the Trojans' story. Didon acknowledges that
she knows of this situation. Panthée then tells of the ultimate destiny of the Trojans to found a new city in Italy.
During this scene, Énée is disguised as an ordinary sailor.
  
  Narbal then comes to tell Didon that
Iarbas and his army are attacking the fields surrounding Carthage and are marching on the city. But Carthage does not
have enough weapons to defend itself. Énée then reveals his true identity and offers the services of his people
to help Carthage. Didon accepts the offer, and Énée entrusts Ascagne to Didon's care. The Carthaginians and
Trojans then prepare for battle against the Numidians.
  
  Act 4
  
  Scene 1: Royal Hunt and
Storm
  This scene is a pantomime with primarily instrumental accompaniment, set in a forest with a cave in the
background. A small stream flows from a crag and merges with a natural basin bordered with rushes and reeds. Two naiads
appear and disappear, but return to bathe in the basin. Hunting horns are heard in the distance, and huntsmen with dogs
pass by as the naiads hide in the reeds. Ascanius gallops across the stage on horseback. Didon and Énée have been
separated from the rest of the hunting party. As a storm breaks, the two take shelter in the cave. At the climax of the
storm, nymphs with dishevelled hair run to-and-fro over the rocks, gesticulating wildly. They break out in wild cries of
"a-o" (sopranos and contraltos) and are joined by fauns, sylvans, and satyrs. The stream becomes a torrent, and
waterfalls pour forth from the boulders, as the chorus intones "Italie! Italie! Italie!". A tree is hit by lightning,
explodes and catches fire, as it falls to the ground. The satyrs, fauns, and sylvans pick up the flaming branches and
dance with them in their hands, then disappear with the nymphs into the depths of the forest. The scene is slowly
obscured by thick clouds, but as the storm subsides, the clouds lift and dissipate.
   
  
  Scene 2: The
gardens of Didon by the shore
  The Numidians have been beaten back, and both Narbal and Anna are relieved at this.
However, Narbal worries that Didon has been neglecting the management of the state, distracted by her love for
Énée. Anna dismisses such concerns and says that this indicates that Énée would be an excellent king for
Carthage. Narbal reminds Anna, however, that the gods have called Énée's final destiny to be in Italy. Anna
replies that there is no stronger god than love.
  
  After Didon's entry, and dances from the Egyptian
dancing girls, the slaves, and the Nubian slave girls, Iopas sings his song of the fields, at the queen's request.

 
  She then asks Énée for more tales of Troy. Énée reveals that after some persuading, Andromaque
eventually married Pyrrhus, the son of Achilles, who killed Hector, Andromache's earlier husband. Didon then feels
resolved regarding her lingering feelings about her late husband. At one point, Ascagne slips Sichée's ring from
Didon's finger. Didon retrieves it, but then forgets about it later. Alone, Didon and Énée then sing a love duet.
At the end of the act, the god Mercury appears and strikes Énée's shield, then calls out three times, "Italy!"
  
  Act 5
  
  Scene 1: The harbour of Carthage
  Hylas sings his song of longing for home,
alone. Two sentries mockingly comment that he will never see his homeland again. Panthée and the Trojan chieftains
discuss the gods' angry signs at their delay in sailing for Italy. The sentries remark that they have good lives in
Carthage and do not want to leave.
  
  Énée then comes on stage, singing of his despair at the gods'
portents and warnings to set sail for Italy, and also of unhappiness at his betrayal of Didon with this news. The ghosts
of Priam, Chorèbe, Hector and Cassandre appear and relentlessly urge Énée to proceed on to Italy. Énée
gives in and realizes that he must obey the gods' commands, but also realizes his cruelty and ingratitude to Didon as a
result. He then orders his comrades to prepare to sail that morning, before sunrise.
  
  Didon then appears,
appalled at Énée's attempt to leave in secret, but still in love with him. Énée pleads the messages from
the gods to move on, but Didon will have none of this. She pronounces a curse on him as she leaves.
  
  Scene
2: Didon's apartment at dawn
  Didon asks Anna to plead with Énée one last time to stay. Anna acknowledges
blame for encouraging the love between her sister and Énée. Didon angrily counters that if Énée truly
loved her, he would defy the gods, but then asks her to plead with for a few days' additional stay.
  
  The
crowd has seen the Trojans set sail. Iopas conveys the news to Didon. In a rage, she demands that the Carthaginians give
chase and destroy the Trojans' fleet, and wishes that she had destroyed the Trojans upon their arrival. She then decides
to offer sacrifice, including destroying the Trojans' gifts to her and hers to them.
  
  Alone, she resolves
to die (Je vais mourir – "I am going to die"), and after expressing a final love for Énée, prepares to bid
her city farewell (Adieu, fière cité – "Farewell, proud city").
  
  Scene 3: The palace
gardens
  A sacrificial pyre with Énée's relics has been built. Narbal and Anna expound curses on
Énée to suffer a humiliating death in battle (Dieux de l'oubli, dieux de Ténare – "Gods of oblivion,
gods of Tenarus"). Didon then ascends the pyre (Pluton... semble m'être propice – Pluto... seems to be
propitious"). She removes her veil and throws it on Énée's toga (D'un malheureux amour, funestes gages –
"You, sad pledges of an unhappy love"). She has a vision of a future African warrior, Hannibal, who will rise and attack
Rome to avenge her.
  
  Didon then stabs herself with Énée's sword, to the horror of her people. But
at the moment of her death, she has one last vision: Carthage will be destroyed, and Rome will be "immortal". The
Carthaginians then utter one final curse on Énée and his people, vowing vengeance for his abandonment of Didon,
as the opera ends.
