Mechanism and head of a Vichy Ball balancing automaton of the late 19th century. The music played is Je Veux Vivre by Gounod. Here is Netrebko doing it youtu.be/HsHKWGHkH0M.
and if you want to sing along in English the lyrics are:
Ah!
I want to live
In this dream that intoxicates me
Again this day!
Sweet flame,
I keep you in my soul
Like a treasure!
