An aria from the "mad scene," "Il dolce suono" (from the 3rd Act), was re-popularized when it was featured in the Luc Besson film "The Fifth Element" in a performance by the alien diva Plavalaguna (voiced by Albanian soprano Inva Mulla Tchacko and played onscreen by French actress Maïwenn Le Besco).

It is actually one of the many great arias in the opera "Lucia da Lammermour" by Gaetano Donizetti. I forget exactly which aria, as I haven't seen the movie in quite some time.

I think I found it. I haven't seen the movie.

The Diva sings a very well known aria from the opera Lucia di Lammermoor. The opera was written by Gaetano Donizetti. Commonly referred to as "The Mad Scene", the aria is known as "Il dolce suono...Ardon gli incensi".
