Scene: "The Seduction"
(Fosco’s lodgings in London. We see him at home in a strange, surreal lair—full of caged animals birds and mice. He is packing)
[FOSCO]
It's time to fly the coop, my doves! Arriverderci, Londra! No tears, bambini. You must learn to fare la bella figura! Put on a good show! Always, Count Fosco... he puts on a good show
(Fosco performs for his animals)
My little friends
You are all in this world that I trust
Now we must find a new home
And I see you're nonplussed
Now that we've won
And we have all the spoils
We must see
That we don't miss the boat
But you'll forgive me if I take
A moment
To gloat
You can get away with anything
It all comes down to style
You'll have a captive audience
As long as you beguile
