Scarpia

Tosca is the perfect decoy.
By now, my bloodhounds should have sunk
their teeth into their prey!
Dawn will see Angelotti and the handsome Cavaradossi
hanging from the gallows.
|
Scarpia rings for Sciarrone.

Scarpia
|
|
|
Is Tosca in the palace?
|
|
Sciarrone
|
|
|
A Chamberlain has gone to fetch her.
|
The sound of music is heard from outside;
there is a party taking place.
|
|
Scarpia

(It's late.
They can't start the cantata without the diva.
In the meantime, they're dancing.)
Wait for Tosca at the entrance.
Tell her I expect to see her
after the performance.
Or better yet
give her this note.

Sciarrone exits
