Act I: The opera opens in the church of Sant’Andrea della Valle, where the painter Mario Cavaradossi is working on a fresco. He meets Floria Tosca, his lover, and the two exchange sweet words of love. However, Baron Scarpia, the police chief, is in love with Tosca and plots to separate her from Mario. Scarpia discovers that Mario is hiding a political prisoner, Cesare Angelotti, and decides to use Tosca to capture him.
Act II: In his house, Scarpia interrogates Mario and tries to extort information from him about Angelotti. Tosca arrives and, having discovered Scarpia’s plan, finds herself in a desperate situation. Scarpia offers Tosca Mario’s freedom in exchange for his submission. In the end, Tosca, in a moment of determination, kills Scarpia to save her beloved.
Act III: Mario has been captured and condemned to death. Tosca, having obtained a safe-conduct from Scarpia, runs to him to warn him. However, she discovers that Mario’s escape plan was only a deception and that he has been shot. Desperate, Tosca commits suicide by throwing herself off the Castel Sant’Angelo.
