There's one clear answer. I think you have to have watched both movies to know. I tried googling it, and i didn't find a shortcut. Well?

Arias from Bizet's opera Les pêcheurs de perles feature in both films.

Matchpoint
Arias and extracts include work by Verdi (in particular Macbeth, La Traviata, Il Trovatore and Rigoletto), Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore, Bizet's Les pêcheurs de perles, Antônio Carlos Gomes's Salvatore Rosa sung by Caruso. The romanza Una furtiva lagrima from L'elisir d'amore is featured repeatedly, including during the opening credits.

The Man Who Cried
Fegele Abramovich (Christina Ricci), a Russian Jew is separated from her father (Oleg Yankovsky) as a child in 1927. Her father has traveled to America to seek his fortune and plans to send for Fegele and her grandmother. Before leaving, he sings in Yiddish to his daughter Je Crois Entendre Encore from the opera Les pêcheurs de perles by Georges Bizet. This song recurs throughout the movie.
