L'oiseau chante

The "Flower Duet", became well known due to the 1983 cult film The Hunger performed by David Bowie and Catherine Deneuve. In 1989, it was adapted by Malcolm McLaren and Yanni for British Airways "face" advertisements, being named "Aria".
The "Flower Duet" is a song from the 1st act of the opera Lakmé composed by Léo Delibes' in 1881/82 and debuted in Paris in April 1883, almost 140 years ago and precisely 100 years before the release of the film The Hunger.
I selected the start of the video from the most known 2nd part of the song.

Have a happy Spring :)
