SALZBURG (July 26-Aug. 30) will not disappoint those who like the tried and true, though there will also be productions of some rarely heard operas. Emilio de' Cavalieri's The Representation of Body and Soul (1600), Giovanni Battista Pergolesi's La Serva Padrona (1733), and Mozart's Bastien und Bastienne spell Von Karajan's controversial production of Don Giovanni, and Beethoven's Fidelio under Karl Böhm's baton. The classics-heavy on Mozart, of course-will be given their due by the Vienna Philharmonic...
Schoenenberger made his exit in a grand and confident manner. He called a press conference in the Sala Rosa of Rome's Cavalieri Hilton, ordered drinks set up for newsmen, and explained why he was going.

...Traveling as "S. Allilueva"-her mother's maiden name-she flew on to Rome, accompanied by Embassy Second Secretary Robert Rayle.

...keeping with his restless nature, Hilton is particularly fond of making flying visits to his chain or searching out new hotel sites. He scrambled like a mountain goat over Rome's Monte Mario to pick out just the right spot for the Cavalieri Hilton, declared with the spirit of a Medici commissioning a palace that he wanted it to be "a balcony of flowers overlooking Rome." Whenever Hilton appears at one of his hotels, the staff jumps to give him royal treatment-and sometimes stumbles. His bathtub at the New York Hilton was cracked, and at the Waldorf recently...
...thing of the past. Some of the biggest cities of Europe-London, Paris, Rome-were underbuilt, and though the hotel service is often better than in the U.S., the furnishings are often shabby and the bills padded by extra service charges and taxes. Opening in June, the 400-room Cavalieri Hilton, stretching across Rome's highest hill, Monte Mário, will be the city's first new de luxe hotel in 20 years. Hilton is negotiating for a hotel site at Orly airport outside Paris, and another near the Eiffel Tower...
