This video comes from a December 1984 performance at the Opera Company of Boston (for which I was the stage manager). The conductor was Neville Dove and Ms. Welting was assisted by Justino and (on the harp) company stalwart, tenor James Billings.
She was the best Olympia I ever had the privilege to accompany at the Met in over 45 years. I could see her close up and she looked totally like a real doll. And her voice!

Beautiful voice excellent coloratura

A most treasured mentor and woman of grace!
Glorious performance, sad that she had such a short career
Maravillosa
¡ABSOLUTAMENTE FABULOSA!
Ruth Welting was a fine singer. The aria is in A-flat major so the highest notes are f naturals.
