A character with this profession spits out, "Et avanti trembla tutta (*) Roma!"
One character with this profession ascends to a high B in the "Suicidio!" aria after she is menaced by Barnaba, an evil Inquisition spy who kills her mother, La Cieca. Another woman with this profession once posed as the gypsy girl Eugenia Montez and sleeps with Prus to get a letter that details the secret to eternal life. A character with this profession spits out, "Et avanti trembla tutta (*) Roma!" before setting candles around a corpse in the Farnese Palace. That character says that she "gave jewels for the Madonna's mantle" in "Vissi d'arte" and kills the chief of police, Baron Scarpia, before hurling herself off the Castel Sant'Angelo. For 10 points, identify this profession of Floria Tosca, incidentally also the profession of the soprano portraying her.
