Cuando se marcha ella, Pedrillo aborda al Bajá para presentarle a Belmonte como arquitecto a lo que accede aquél. Cuando ya están dentro, se vuelven a topar con Osmin en un trío divertido (Marsch!, Marsch!) en el que se enfrentan, en un casi perfecto "dúo", Osmin, por una parte, y Pedrillo, junto a Belmonte, por la otra y que cierra este acto.

After she leaves to return to the seraglio (the part of an Asian palace where the women of the house live), Pedrillo introduces Belmonte to the Pasha as a visiting architect. Osmin tries to prevent the two men from entering the palace, but they brush him aside.
