Help with this musical riff

In Mission Impossible:Rogue Nation a very familiar melody is played at 1:33:00 again at 2:02:30.
Anyone knows where it comes from?

Concerto or Opera... tip of my tongue

Sounds a bit like Puccini's Nessun Dorma...

Yes thanks that's it, but I remember it being played during a very popular tv ad in the 1980's. Can you guys recall?

It was also used in the Jason Bourne movies...

And, iirc, in the last Jack Ryan movie... near the end when retribution is meted out.

The tenor sounds like our own Manuel Escorcio.
