🌸 We bet this aria is familiar to you... The "Flower Duet" from Delibes' Lakmé is one of the best-known tunes in all of classical music! Here Jodie Devos Soprano and Marion Lebègue are simply splendid as Lakmé and Mallika, and Davide Garattini Raimondi's striking staging grapples with the complex and troubling legacy of colonialism in India... 🌸 https://bit.ly/43HNhHE | medici.tv

This #ClassicalMusicMonday piece is one of the most famous classical duets. 🎤 It appears in the first act of Léo Delibes's opera, "Lakmé", where it's sung by the main character Lakmé and her servant Mallika. Even if you're not familiar with the original opera, you might recognize the "Flower Duet" from films such as True Romance and TV shows including The Simpsons. 🌼 | flowkey
