Robert Merrill and Judith Blegen are among the Met artists who help Kaye demonstrate different voice types including bass · tenor · baritone · mezzo-soprano and lyric soprano. And Beverly Sills - one of the world's first contralto sopranos - joins Danny in a comic ditty called "The Hoarse Opera". For a taste of real opera · tenor Jose Carreras · soprano Adriana Malponte and the Met company perform the melod-out "Libiamo · " from Verdi's "La Traviata." James Levine conducts the Metropolitan Opera orchestra and chorus. (60 min) · Special: The Nation's tax collector - the Internal Revenue Service - is scrutinized in "IRS: A Question of Power". The critical tone of this report is set by producer Paul A. Meyer who says that the IRS's "awesome powers are abused · and that the average tax payer is generally defenseless and sometimes harassed and intimidated during an IRS audit." Still in production at press time · the program mainly uses interviews with IRS critics and officials among the areas covered: IRS assistance to people with their tax forms · audit · collection and seizure procedures · the confidentiality of tax returns · and the "possible politicization" of the agency. Narrator: Tom Jarriel (60 min) |
