Is the soundtrack from this movie, commercially available?

Or is there a recording of this aria as sung by Rufus in the movie, that is available anywhere?

I've searched but found nothing.

It's an aria from Gretry's opera "Zemire et Azor". Not a lot of CD recordings are available because it is not one of those virtuoso operas by classical masters that get recorded and staged thousand times. While this is a beautiful beautiful piece laid on beautiful lyrics, its melody is rather simple. Rufus's unique voice makes it more interesting but you might not be so thrilled by a real operatic version.

Because the main character Marc Labrèche is imagining himself as the Prince. And then is being called back to reality. Cinematic technique, is all!
