Mario helps him to escape in the disguise of a woman. Floria Tosca, Mario’s flancée,. and a famous singer. suspects Mario of a flirtation, and the suspicion is fostered by the dreaded chief of police, Baron Scarpia, who is able to show her a fan engraved with the name Countess Atavanti, which Angelotti dropped in his flight. Later, Scarpia arrests Cavaradossi for complicity in Angelotti’s escape, and Mario is tortured in a room beside that in which Scarpia is interviewing Tosca for whom he has conceived a violent passion. In her mental distress, Tosca tells the whereabouts of Angelotti, and the torture of Mario ceases. Scarpia now presses Tosca to yield her honour, and at the price of

Marto’s life, she consents, but suddenly she stabs Scarpia to death and escapes, After a scene between Tosca and her lover in prison, Scarpia’s treachery is revealed. for in spite of his promise to order blank cartridge, Mario is really shot, and the preconcerted plan by which he was to feign death and then escape eomes to nought. Stricken with grief, Tosca throws herself from the parapet of the prison into the Tiber. 11. 0 LONDON NEWS 11.30 CLOSE DOWN INZ AUCKLAND 880 kc. 341 m. 6. Opm.
