Aida scorns to renounce her, and is deaf to the entreaties of the daughter Jf the King, whose jealousy,~ as Amneris herself is aware, has brought about his downfall. The denouement is not long delayed. The final picture shows the interior of the Temple of Vulcan. On high is the hall of worship; below? 4 the vault in which Radames, doomed to die, is interred alive by the priests. As the stone is sealed over his head, Aida, who has awaited Radames in the tomb, rises before him. The lovers are locked in fa last embrace as Amneris, heart-broken, kneels in prayer on the marble which parts from the living the couple now united in death.
