The police chief, Baron Scarpia, plays with Floria Tosca's jealousy to locate the two men, whom he soon captures.

Having obtained the certainty that he saved his lover from death, he kills Scarpia with a knife and heads to the dungeon to please Cavaradossi. Will the two lovers be able to be together? see more
