Dramatic representation and scene of the final act of the opera Cardillac - officer with chorus, in the opera by Paul Hindemith.

In an energetic and self-sacrificing appeal, the officer, after learning of the murders of the goldsmith Cardillac to his buyers, prevents the mob from lynching him,(Cardillac). The agitated crowd, armed with knives and sabers, is depicted in shades of gray and black, as is the officer.
