I'm looking for something similar to Mozart's aria Vorrei spiegarvi, oh dio! for the failure of a film I'm making, have you any suggestions?  I want something light, slightly whimsical and lascivious.  What do you have for me?

No one?  You must be joking, this is a classical music forum!

Bel canto? So it can be by Rossini? Donizetti? Verdi? Puccini? Something well known ( O mio babbino caro?) or something unknown? ( Haydn, Keiser,Monteverdi...!)
or can we think of totally other repertoire?

Not something well known, and not something as sentimental as O mio babbino caro.  Something lascivious please, sexy, with a very light, cliché background of that string-pinching technique of the violin (what is it called?) and an oboe or flute.  I want to have dialogue while this plays, this it why I don't want a very complex orchestra piece.

Why not something from Bellini? It doesn't get any prettier than this. :)

Martha doesn't signal when the orchestra comes in, she's just pursing her lips.

Lovely, I'll keep it in mind, but I want something more joyful.

Ah, lovely!  Thank you my friend.  Anything with Schwarzkopf you can think of?

Some very nice suggestions above, especially the justly famous Offenbach.

Another aria that I think fits your description is this lithe number from Auber's Le domino noir:

It's not very well known, but its irresistible élan and melodic charm should work well on the silver screen.
