Anyone know what the classical music is that RTE use at the start of their coverage?

Was wondering that myself.
I think it's a particular bar from Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves from the opera Nabucco, composed by Verdi.

Ok wait, i change my mind.
Thinking about it, why would a German World Cup be broadcasting an Italian opera?
After giving it another listen, and routing thru some of my opera collection i've decided its a part of a bar from:

Composer: Wagner
Opera: Tannhäuser
Track: Pilgrim's Chorus
