Summary:
Floria
Tosca
and Mario Cavaradossi are in love and all they want is to be left alone. Baron Scarpia, however, wants Floria for his physical needs. He arrests Mario for aiding a fugitive and tells
Tosca
that she can save her lover by giving herself to him. She agrees, and he promises to set up a false execution of Mario. But Floria won't be had so easily and the kiss he has so longed for turns out to be the fatal kiss of a knife blade. But the treachery of Scarpia is revealed as the execution goes ahead and Mario is killed.
Tosca
vows to meet Scarpia before God as she leaps over the side of the building to her death.
