Exeunt.
Wild and unearthly music is again heard; when the Scene changes to a mountainous region, among the rocks of which is discovered a deep cave. The Tempter , followed at a short distance by Carlos , enters, and stops before the cave, from which strange noises, with frequent mutterings of thunder and flashes of lightning, proceed.

They enter the cavern, which suddenly closes with a tremendous crash, followed by harsh and discordant music; when the Scene changes to a gorgeous temple, with an altar in the centre, brilliantly lighted and adorned with fruits and flowers formed of precious stones, surmounted by a golden image wearing a crown, at the feet of which a book is lying. Soft and seductive music is heard followed immediately by the entrance of the Tempter and Carlos.

Carlos , terrified and bewildered, staggers down from the altar, and falls.

Carlos leads Almeyda to a seat, and places himself by her side. The Tempter enters, marshalling the dancers, who, after due obeisance to the lord and lady of the mansion, perform a characteristic dance, which is terminated upon the entrance of Julie , who bounds forward and dances by herself, when the Tempter , coming to the side of Carlos , directs his attention to her, to the evident annoyance of Almeyda.
