Tosca gets near the door to the torture chamber.
|
Tosca
|
|
Are you all right?
|
Cavaradossi
|
|
Have courage. Be silent. I defy them.
|
Scarpia
|
|
Now, Tosca, tell me.
|
Tosca
|
|
I know nothing.
|
Scarpia
|
|
Was that not enough? Roberti, again!
|
|
Tosca
|
|
Stop!
|
Scarpia
|
|
You'll talk?
|
Tosca
|
|
You monster! You're killing him!
|
Scarpia
|
|
Your silence is far more harmful.
|
Tosca
|
|
How can you laugh at such pain?
|
|
Scarpia
|
|
Tosca has never given a better performance.
Open the door so she can hear!
|
Tosca
|
|
I defy you!
|
Scarpia
|
|
Tell me! Quickly!
|
Tosca
|
|
I know nothing. Must I lie to you?
|
|
Scarpia
|
|
Where is Angelotti?
Where is he hidden?
|
Tosca
|
|
I can't bear it!
Stop this torture! It's too much to bear.
(To Cavaradossi) Will you let me speak?
|
|
Cavaradossi
|
|
Fool, what do you know? What can you say?
|
Scarpia
|
|
Make him be quiet!
|
Tosca
|
|
(To Scarpia) What have I ever done to you?
You are torturing me! You are torturing my soul.
|
Scarpia commands the torture to be continued;
Cavaradossi's groans are heard.
