What was the aria?

What aria was being sung early in the movie, when Florence and St. Clair are in the audience? (The one that moves her so much that she decides to perform again.) Any help would be much appreciated!

The "Bell Song" from Lakmé by Léo Delibes?the same song that we first hear Florence sing.
