What are some quality duets for Bass/Baritone and Soprano?

I got asked by a soprano to sing a duet next semester, and the pieces she has been suggesting have been mostly soprano and tenor duets. Neither of us is very familiar with any soprano and bass/baritone duets, so I figured this would be a good place to ask for help. Language doesn't matter, neither does subject matter, provided it's not offensive, and it doesn't have to be musical theatre or opera, but they're possibilities. She's a freshman and I'm a sophomore in college, so nothing overly complicated. Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks.

Brian,
either the Papageno/Papagena duet from Magic Flute, 2nd Act, that has the complicated start: "Pa-pa-pa"
or the Papageno/Pamina duet from magic Flute, Act I, "Bei Männern"
Or, to stick with Mozart:
"La ci darem la mano" Act I duet between Don Giovanni and Zerlina ( from Don Giovanni)
the music isn't complicated. The first is comical, the second and third, lyrical.
I don't recommend anything overly dramatic at this point in your development.
You can never go wrong with Mozart.
