Opera or movie fans...What song is this?!
Question:
Opera or movie fans...What song is this?
There is a female operatic duet found in several movies. It is gorgeous but I don't know the name of the song or performers. I can't even remember what movies it is in, except...there is a snippet of it in "Chicken Little" when the turkey mayor is taking a bubble bath. It isn't credited in the music credits, however. Can anyone help me find a recording of this song?
Answers:
One of the more famous female operatic duets is "The Flower Duet" from Lakme, by Delibes.
It is used mostly in commercials for British Airways.
You can probably find it on any CD that features Opera Duets.
There is another that was in "The Shawshank Redemption", and here is the information for that.
