Overall a really lovely job. My heart broke to hear the high D delivered ever so slightly underpitch... I think the best technique for delivery always holds the meaning of the text and lyric as a sad realization that the lover will probably not really ever return. The D then sails high on the emotion, not on the diaphragm. Listen to Sills' 1962 version here on You Tube and you will see what I mean.
who is this? she's incredible!!! I thought beverly sills was the only one who could make that high D sound good, but I was mistaken! that was amazing!

This is the "Willow Song" which happens about 20 min into the opera...and certainly not the finale of the act. BRAVA Ms. Welting!!!

That is Ruth Welting. Really an underrated singer, I think. She was wonderful.
