Does anyone know the name of this opera song???!
Question: There was this really beautiful song I heard on a CD a long time ago. There were a ton of different opera arias and duets on it and one was a lovely duet between two sisters. I believe it was in German but I can't remember.
The sister who starts out singing is I believe talking about how she is too old for love but she pines to fall desperately in love. The younger sister's first (translated) lines are something like, "I don't really know you..." and she then gives her own views on love.
It's a really beautiful duet sung by two sopranos and I would really like to hear it again.
I've searched google and on this site but have found nothing. I know it is not "Ladaumus Te" or "The Flower Duet" and I don't believe it's from Cosi Fan Tutte.
Any help is greatly appreciated! : D

Could it be the Zdenka-Arabella duet from Ricahard Strauss' "Arabella"......I don't recall how it starts, but I do know that (my part !!!)
starts out, "Aber der Richtige, wenn's einen gibt's fur mich auf dieser Welt " (please forgive the fractured German, I never really learned it, and have not seen it recently)....and it means, "I do know that if there is a right man for me in this world, he will stand there before me and I will stand there before him, as innocent and naive as a child....."
It is adorable !
Is this any help?

I don't know how much help I can be, but will try by offering these research items.
"Der Rosencavalier".
"The Bohemian Girl".
"Tales of Hoffman"(the Barcarole", for soprano and alto; but you sound too knowledgeable for this to be it).
I'm sorry, but my mind is boggling; and on second thought, I probably really can't help you.

Russian?
Could it be from Yevgény Onégin (Eugene Onegin)?
Either Tatyana and her younger sister Olga singing a duet, or Tatyana and Filippyevnathe, the nurse singing a duet towards the end of the opera.
