DUBROVNIK (through Aug. 25). The rugged scenic beauty of this Yugoslav seaport offers a feast for the eye while the ear attunes to the sounds of the Amadeus Quartet and the Zagreb Philharmonic. A glittering array of artists, including Soprano Martina Arroyo, Cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, Violinist Isaac Stern, and Pianists Sviatoslav Richter and Alexis Weissenberg will all be on hand...
