Please, I need suggestions on the best duet to begin a musical with. Something for a soprano and tenor singer.

Thank you very much!
Something a bit more lively though.
I want to use it for the beginning of a show, like an opening number.

A great opening number for a cabaret act that is upbeat and lively is "Nothing Can Stop Me Now!" from THE ROAR OF THE GREASEPAINT - THE SMELL OF THE CROWD. Some friends of mine used it as an opening number and it set the perfect mood for their show. It's also a good title for an opening number. Not sure if a soprano voice will work but if she has a chest voice it could.

Thanks! It does sound great as an opening number, although, it's a solo piece with back up singers. I'm looking for a duet piece.

I recommend editing your thread title from Quick Question to Seeking Duet Opening Number.
But it is up to you.

Not sure of the style of show but Let me be your star from Smash is a great opening and can work for a duet with tenor and soprano, just switch.

Be advised that two people can sing any song ever written together. The song need not be composed as a duet. Use your own creativity. People are giving you great choices and you are shooting them down.
Nothing Can Stop Me Now does not need Ooh's and Ah's you know that -any two people can sing the lyric and the message is good.
Tonight and I Wanna Be Seen With You are both uptempo with a great feel and message for an opening.
Magic To Do from Pippin can be sung by two people- ANY song can be sung by two people. Use your own creativity. It is not rocket science.
