===Act 3=== Klaas and Pedrillo come to the garden with ladders (Aria, Belmonte: "{{lang|de|italic=no|Ich baue ganz auf deine Stärke}}" – "Love, only love, can now direct me"). Pedrillo attracts the attention of the women by singing a ballad about a rescue similar to the one he is planning (Romanze, Pedrillo: "{{lang|de|italic=no|In Mohrenland gefangen war}}" – "In Moorish lands a maiden fair"). However, Osmin enters, sees the ladders, and rouses the castle. Osmin exults in the prospect of seeing them all hanged (Aria: "{{lang|de|italic=no|[[O, wie will ich triumphieren]]}}" – "My triumphant hour's approaching"). Belmonte pleads for their lives and tells Pasha Selim that his father is a Spanish [[Grandee]] and Governor of [[Oran]], named Lostados, and will pay a generous ransom. Unfortunately, Pasha Selim and Lostados are long-standing enemies. The Pasha rejoices in the opportunity to subject his enemy's son to a horrible death. He leaves Belmonte and Konstanze to bid each other a last farewell; they lovingly assure each other that being tortured to death will be a pleasure, so long as they get tortured to death together (Duet: "{{lang|de|italic=no|Welch ein Geschick! O Qual der Seele.... Weh, du soltest für mich sterben}}" – "What dreadful fate conspires against us.... Woe, you will die because of me"). However, the Pasha then decides that he can make a better point against Lostados by showing mercy and releasing Belmonte and his friends. All are set at liberty – much to the dismay of Osmin (Finale: "{{lang|de|italic=no|Nie werd' ich deine Huld verkennen}}" – "Your noble mercy passes measure").
