I bet there are some GREAT Gilbert and Sullivan things, like form Gondoliers.
I think the Nemorino/Belcore or Nemorino/Dulcamara duet from L'Elisir D'Amore would work. The English translation in the Schirmer score is pretty good, btw.
Rossini has some nice "chamber" duets. I think there are some Schumann and Brahms duets as well.
I've heard some students do a "PDQ Bach" cycle about the Zodiac. the name escapes me at the moment. It was very clever, though.
