I'd love to, Jacqueline, but it's been years since I heard it. You just sort of listen
and then all of a sudden it's like "There it is!", and the orchestra part is very close
to the Star Wars Theme. You hear about it in bands all the time, and then the
other day my Lit. prof., who doesn't like Star Wars much (poor misguided soul),
brought it up and reminded me. But I'll try and get a hold of the score from the
library or something and see if I can't give you a more accurate description of
where in the opera this occurs.
