Angeletti, an aristocratic liberal, has escaped from prison and hides in the Attevanti Chapel in the Church of Saint Andrea where the

famous painter Mario Cavaradossi is at work on a mural of the Magdelene.

The artist discovers the refugee and, because he too is an enemy of the

regime presided over by the cruel Baron scarpia, promises to help him.

The glamorous opera singer, Floria Tosca, Cavaradossi's love, arrives. She

accuses the painter of infidelity with the model in his mural, but he com­

forts her and arranges a rendezvous that night at his villa. Tosca leaves

and Mario takes Angeletti away to hide him. The Sacristan enters with news

that Napoleon has been defeated at Marengo, and a Te Deum is to be celebrated

in the Church. The choir boys' joy is interrupted by the arrival of Scarpia

and his guards seeking Angeletti. Tosca returns to tell Cavaradossi that

she must sing that evening, and scarpia, using a fan dropped by Angeletti's

sister in the family chapel, plays on her jealousy to make her reveal any

knowledge of Angeletti's ~hereabouts. Act II: Scarpia, in his apartments where Tosca is expected, questions

Cavaradossi who has been brought in by Spoletta, his agent. He sends Mario to be tortured, at which point Tosca arrives. Hearing his cries of anguish,

she reveals Angeletti's hiding place. Cavaradossi is brought back and rejects her for her betrayal. Sciarrone rushes in, relates that Napoleon has not been defeated, but has triumphed. Scarpia condemns Cavaradossi to

death, and he is led away. Tosca pleads for his life which Scarpia says he

will grant if she submits to him. He instructs Spoletta to carry out the pretense of an execution. He writes a safe conduct passage for the lovers

and turns to claim his prize. Tosca stabs him. Act III: Cavaradossi, an acting death, writes a final letter to Tosca when 0 s he appears with her great news. The firing squad enters and the pretended'

execution takes place. Alone, Tosca rushes to Cavaradossi's body and dis­

covers that Scarpia has played his final trick. Mario is indeed dead.

Hearing the approach of the guards, she jumps into the parapet. THE AMERICAN NATIONAL OPERA COiviPANY
