Léo Delibes’ Lakmé: ‘Duo de fleurs’
At Sunnyside - Where Truth and Beauty Meet 
The thought of floral duets is intriguing. There certainly are flowers in our world that ‘sing together’ beautifully, like Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush. Perhaps ‘weeds’ are nothing more than flowers whose songs we can’t hear.

Beautiful, Sunnyside! I was particularly taken by the tender and expressive conductor, the intense looks on the singers faces and of course this is a lovely piece!

Oh, I agree — seeing the faces changes how I hear the music. I always love finding good videos so I can see the performers. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Hilda. 🙂

I seem to remember hearing a snippet of this piece in a television commercial. I don’t recall what product was being advertised.

The part that starts at 1:05 sounds familiar to me, also, but I have no clue where I might have heard it. Old Tom and Jerry cartoons do have an astonishing selection of classical snippets that permeated my childhood, though.🙂

Yes, those old cartoons did.
I searched and found out that it was British Airways that used the Lakmé music in commercials:
