Rigore, the prosecuting angelClemenza, the defending angel
The two angels call Yonah (the Dove symbolizing Zion) asking her to rejoice in song, since the time of redemption is come.


"O dove that art in the clefts of the rock, let me see thy countenance. Let me hear thy voice in song, break forth into singing, for thy time is come. Rise up Zion, thou fairest among women, be glad and rejoice. How long wilt thou be cast down: joyful be now, for ever and ever."
