"Brindisi" or "Libiamo ne' lieti calici" is the first duet in 'La Traviata'. The English title is "Let us drink from these happy chalices". Violetta encourages Alfredo to sing, and he toasts to love and pleasure. Great duet, by the way. My favorite opera! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3lqwN_l4ig
The "Brindisi" drinking song plays when Edward first introduces Bella to his family, when they are making Italian food--quite fitting because La Traviata is an Italian opera. The duet is famously known for it's first line: "Libiamo ne' lieti calici" or "Let us drink from these happy goblets". Intentional irony is present here because when vampires feed, they drink! "Brinidisi" is also my ringtone!
I haven't seen "Pretty Woman," in quite some time but, I believe that you heard a portion of two different arias during that scene...if I remember it correctly. The first was a small intro of Libiamo ne lieti calici or "Brindisi" (better known as the Drinking-Song). But, probably the one you are referencing is Ah, fors' è lui...Sempre libera (which she sings while holding a fan in the movie). The scene was shot at the War Memorial Opera House in San Francisco. Hope this helps answer your question. I haven't seen "Pretty Woman," in quite some time but, I believe that you heard a portion of two different arias during that scene...if I remember it correctly.
