Opera in TV Advertisements?

I am trying to find some television advertisements that carry soundtracks of well-known opera arias. Please reply if you know of any advertisements/commercials that do. Thank you.

Kellogg's Corn Flakes used Grieg's Peer Gynt a few years back.



Mr Sheen used the William Tell Overture as did The Lone Ranger!

andrex (toilet paper) ironically how i feel about classical music
Years ago, saw a TV commercial in which someone sang, "No more Rice Krispies, we are out of Rice Krispies" to the tune of "Vesti la giubba" from "Pagliacci."



Are you interested in TV commercials in other countries?



Hi-Mart, a chain electrical appliance store chain here in Korea, uses a jingle set to the tune of "La donna e mobile" from "Rigoletto."
British Airways used the Flower Duet from Lakme
Ghirardelli Chocolate use The Flower Duet from Lakme.

I've heard variations on "La Donne Mobile" on Olive Gardern (and other Italian Restaurants) Commercials.



There are countless commericials that use stuff from Wagner.
Here in Germany, the "la Donna e mobile" is used for two different commercials. One is a type of crispy cookie, known as Choco Crossies, where the text has been changed. In the other, a frozen pizza commercial, the original is used a s background music for a "romantic " dinner for two, featuring



a candle-lit dinner of, frozen pizza. ( It's the Bjorling recording, so that takes some of the sting out of it, but not much)
O Fortuna by Carl Orff has been used in numerous movie soundtracks as well as commercials. Most recently it was used in a Nike commercial that came out around Christmas time featuring Payton Manning - "Every Game Needs a Hero."

Recently the Capital One credit card commercials with the Vikings used it, and its used a lot in promos for several television programs - NBA, HBO Boxing.



I know it was used in an Old Spice commercial which featured a surfer. There was a Pringles commercial among others.



The largest companies of the the world such as Nestl茅, Daimler-Chrysler, Procter %26amp; Gamble, Adidas-Salomon/Reebok, Pepsi and Australian brewery Foster's have used 'O Fortuna' for ads of their most important brands.

Barcarolle by Offenbach used by Audi (the European car maker); O Silver Moon by Dvorak (some toilet paper or air freshener commercial); Rigoletto by Verdi (Shape pizza flavoured biscuit)



...hate them when they bastardize classics over some pathetic products...
