I watched 'Carlito's Way' on ITV 3 Friday night. In one of the scenes, Carlito is portrayed looking through a dance studio window at his lover, Gail, as she and her fellow dancers practise ballet routines to certain piece of classical music.
Does anyone know the title of the piece and what ballet it comes from? Incidentally, my missus says that a few years ago it was used to score a Ford advert.

Doesn't it tell you on the soundtrack? Provided you have already looked on there for it!

My thanks to all who replied. I'll pop to Sheffield's Central Library and see if they've a copy of the opera.
You know, the scope of the internet never ceases to amaze me. It is, arguably, the pinnacle of human engineering achievement, so far. In less than thirty minutes, from the comfort of my room, I have communicated, remotely, with people who know the answer to a question that tormented my sleep last night. More, I have now located a source if I should wish to buy the music, and have even downloaded an MP3 of a shortened version of it to listen to.
I wonder how those who condemned Galileo for daring to state that the Earth revolved around the Sun, and not vice versa, would have reacted to a prediction that one day a machine would enable cross-global chatter on serious matters such as world poverty to frivolous ones such as 'Name That Tune'.
Thanks again.
