The "Flower Duet" is a duet for soprano and mezzo-soprano in the first act of tragic opera Lakmé, premiered in Paris in 1883 and composed by Léo Delibes.
It is sung by the characters Lakmé, daughter of a Brahmin priest, and her servant Mallika, as they go to gather flowers by a river.[1]
The duet is frequently used in advertisements and films[2] and is popular as a concert piece. The duet has become a staple of British Airways' brand image, having first been adapted for the track "Aria" in the airline's "face" advertisements of the 1980s by Yanni and Malcolm McLaren.[3] It has been featured in many subsequent advertisements for the airline and is used as its inflight boarding music.[4][5] More recently, it has been heard in bits by The Kids In The Hall and Astron-6, and in films such as Carlito's Way', Meet the Parents, Anomalisa, and True Romance and television shows including Regular Show and The Simpsons.[6]
