The young man is meanly repulsed by Darnley, the queen's husband, but Mary Stuart protects him. She orders that he be taken to the castle kitchen and sees that he is well treated. Liking music, the queen becomes interested in the young singer and takes him as her jester. Little by little, Rizzio becomes the queen's favorite. He is very arrogant with the Scotch noblemen. They are jealous of the favor granted him, and which wounded their pride. They swear revenge. Darnley tries to break the pride of the favorite, but Rizzio, feeling that his mistress is for him, prevents him. The noblemen have decided on a plan to revenge themselves on Rizzio. They take Darnley from a place of pleasure, and, half drunk, they take him to the queen's chamber. Mary Stuart is listening to her favorite music. The queen is very near the singer. Darnley breaks into the room, has Rizzio taken out in spite of the queen's protestations, and he is killed on the spot, almost before the eyes of the queen.
