Puccini: Tosca (Soprano Montserrat Caballé, Tenor José Carreras, Baritone Ingvar Wixell, orchestra and chorus of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, Colin Davis conductor, Philips; 2 LPs). This interpretation of Tosca is nothing if not eccentric. Davis' reading of the florid score is rich and clear but systematically undramatic. As the idealistic painter Cavaradossi, Carreras gives a properly ardent performance, but it seems lost on this particular Tosca. The elegant Caballé can no more be made into the hot-blooded actress than the eyes of Cavaradossi's Mary Magdalen can be changed from blue...
Carter's charitable move must still be endorsed by members of the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, which originally confirmed Lance in his job.

Even bored businessmen come to life when they learn that money for projects can be borrowed in Ireland at rates ranging from 4% to 7%, that profits on exports are tax-free until 1990 and can be repatriated to any country in the world, and that Ireland offers a bagful...
...SOPRANO. Her mother is a pianist and a soprano; her father is a tenor and plays the trumpet. Ann Denbow, 21, of the New England Conservatory of Music, grew up in Ashley, Ohio, playing the piano, singing and dancing. Now, after besting 50 other voice students to be the conservatory's commencement soloist this year (with an aria from Mozart's The Abduction from the Seraglio), Denbow has her heart set on an operatic career-but she is realistic about her chances. "Sopranos are a dime a dozen," she says. "You just hope that you stick with...
