What is the classical music played in the film?

Does anyone know what classical music is playing during the scene where Pracer gets out, and the father is reading the newspaper in the house?

I am nearly certain that it's from the Nutcracker Ballet, which is a subtle bit of humor considering that Prancer is plowing through the house like a "bull in a china shop".

It is part of the original score by Maurice Jarre.

Both are wrong. It is music from Verdi's opera "Nabucco." Check out the overture to hear the snippet that was played during that scene.

Silverfrost90 is correct. It is Verdi. The piece is known as "The chorus of the Hebrew slaves" Listen to it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdAhZ3LwtNY&feature=related
