Anna Moffo singing "Ah, je ris de me voir si belle en ce miroir" from Gounod's Faust.
From Wikipedia:
Marthe, Marguerite's neighbour, notices the jewellery and says it must be from an admirer. Marguerite tries on the jewels and is captivated by how they enhance her beauty, as she sings in the famous aria, the Jewel Song (Ah! je ris de me voir si belle en ce miroir).
