He too is desperate; he thinks Laura is dead. Gioconda tries to rekindle the love he once had for her, but it is useless. Offended now, she tells Enzo that she has stolen Laura's corpse. Enzo asks her to explain, but Gioconda is no longer listening to him. All she wants to do now is to die. Enzo is about to attack Gioconda when the effect of the sleeping draught wears off and Laura wakes up and tells Enzo everything that has happened. Enzo throws himself at Gioconda's feet with his beloved Laura, then the two run off. Gioconda is all alone now and is held back from suicide only when she thinks of her mother and the pact she has made with Barnaba. Barnaba arrives bringing the girl's blind mother. In exchange for her mother he wants a night of passion: the girl pretends to agree but at the last moment she stabs herself with a dagger.

Anna Shafajinskaia as Maddalena Conducted by Pinchas Steinberg. Act III Setting: The Courtroom of the Revolutionary Tribunal, July 24, 1794. Mathieu is trying to rouse the gathered crowd into giving donations to the revolution. The people do not respond until the recovered Gérard appears. He calls upon the people to give what they can, even their sons, to the great Motherland. An old blind woman appears with a young boy. She declares that this is her grandson and that he is all she has left in the world. She begs Gérard to take him, and he agrees. She bids a passionate farewell to her grandson as she is led away. The crowd disperses as L'Incredibile approaches Gérard to tell him the trap is set. Chénier has been taken into custody. L'Incredibile declares that Maddalena will come looking for him. He tells Gérard to draw up the accusation against Chénier for the Tribunal. Gérard hesitates, reasoning that Chénier has already been marked by Fouquier-Tinville. He asks himself ironically, `An enemy of his country?' (Nemico della patria?). He reflects on his disillusionment with power and his own corruption. He has forgotten the goals of the revolution. His new master has become his sensuality. L'Incredibile returns for the indictment to deliver to the Tribunal. Maddalena enters, much to Gérard's joy. He declares that he had Chénier arrested in order to attain her. Gérard says he wants to hold and love her. She declares that she will run to her death by screaming her name in the streets. She tells him that if the price of Chénier's life is her body, then so be it. Gérard is deeply moved by her love for Chénier. Maddalena begins to tell him of her mother's death (La mamma morta). She declares that she brings terrible fortune to those who love her. Suddenly she realized that Love is life. She says an angel approached her and told her he would protect her, but the kiss she received was that of death. She tells Gérard to have his way with her as she is dead already.
