I know of no tenor/baritone duet that is more fun to sing or to listen to than Si Pel Ciel, from Otello by Verdi. The link below show a Youtube performance by tenor Placido Domingo and baritone Sherrill Milnes, and I doubt anyone has ever done it any better than these two.
Listen for the last note. Milnes is supposed to go down to a C-sharp, but instead he jumps up to the tenor note with Domingo - a high A. Any of you baritones will be impressed, I am sure.
Milnes really looks like the bad guy, doesn't he?
(By the way, I made a weak effort at singing this with Dr. Shaw on my senior recital. Not quite in the class of these two, of course.)

Is there a recording of your duet?
A
One was made on reel-to-reel, but it was long ago discarded. Not very notable.
