In Act II of Giacomo Puccini’s Tosca, Baron Scarpia forces Tosca to reveal Angelotti’s hiding place by subjecting her lover, the painter Mario Cavaradossi, to torture in an adjoining room.1

As Cavaradossi is interrogated and his screams are heard, Tosca becomes increasingly unnerved by Scarpia’s relentless questioning. Unable to bear her lover's suffering, she breaks down and discloses that she saw Angelotti hiding in a well in the garden of Cavaradossi’s villa. Once the information is extracted, the torture ceases, though the revelation leads to a confrontation between the lovers when Cavaradossi realizes what Tosca has done.1
