Tenacious diva, Floria Tosca, is thrust into a no-win situation after her lover assists the escape of a political prisoner. They are cornered by the corrupt Scarpia. Each decision she makes brings fate, and disaster, one step closer. Stage director Keith Warner and his team have created a gorgeous new production inspired by the famous Italian surrealist artist Giorgio di Chirico with additional influences from the great filmmaker, Alfred Hitchcock.
Ambos se ven acorralados por el corrupto Scarpia. He compares the two beauties of his work — the blonde, blue-eyed saint and the fiery Floria Tosca, the famous singer who is his lover. Angelotti comes out of the chapel. Cavaradossi, recognizing him, offers his help. Tosca enters and immediately assumes that Mario was meeting another woman. Her jealousy explodes when she sees the blue eyes of the Magdalene.
Mario reassures her, and they plan to spend the evening together. She leaves, and Angelotti re-emerges. They hear the cannon blast signifying an escaped prisoner, and Cavaradossi offers to escort Angelotti to a hiding place at his villa. They slip away. The Sacristan, choristers and acolytes enter excitedly to prepare a Te Deum to celebrate the victory over Napoleon at Marengo.
He orders his officers to search the Attavanti chapel, and he finds a fan with the family crest. Tosca enters, surprised not to find Mario at work. She leaves the church in tears and Scarpia orders his men to follow her.
While the choir sings, he raises his voice in jubilation: the fugitives will reappear and Tosca will run straight into his arms. Compara las dos bellezas de su obra: la santa rubia de ojos azules y la fogosa Floria Tosca, la famosa cantante que es su amante.
