The action of the opera begins with Angelotti, a political prisoner, who seeks refuge in a church, where he is protected by Cavaradossi, a local painter, who is also the lover of the famous singer, Floria Tosca. The young painter behaves suspiciously while protecting his friend, and Tosca believes that he is cheating on her. The police chief, Baron Scarpia, plays with Floria Tosca's jealousy to locate the two men, whom he soon captures. Angelotti prefers to end his days rather than be imprisoned, and Tosca desperately begs Scarpia to spare Cavaradossi's life, the price being herself. 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
