Act 1 - 6: Perché chiuso?
Tosca
Tosca
Why was it closed?

Cavaradossi
The Sacristan's orders.

Tosca
Who were you talking to?

Cavaradossi
To you.

Tosca
You were whispering...
Where is she?
That woman!
I heard running
and the rustle of skirts.

Cavaradossi
You're dreaming.

Tosca
Do you deny it?

Cavaradossi
I deny it and I love you!

Tosca
In front of the Madonna!


Cavaradossi attempts a kiss.


Tosca
No, Mario; I must first pray and offer my flowers.


Tosca prays in front of a statue of the Madonna, then turns to Cavaradossi and his painting.
