Add some duets from opera!
Be sure to explore some Italian and German Opera duets by Mozart and others. These YouTube videos feature opera stars in production with English subtitles, in most cases.
All are sung in the original language (with the exception of the scene from Hansel and Gretel which is sung in English—a common practice in the United States]. These excerpts will help you gain insight into the drama behind each duet.
