Essentially, the production was the same as that given at New York's City Center. The staging and settings were exemplary. Julius Rudel conducted with complete authority; and the singers--headed by Gail Manners, Walter Cassel, Dolores Mari, and Robert Williams--were uniformly excellent down to the smallest part. In all, a stunning production of an important addition to the American operatic repertory...
Opera. The New York City Opera, which sandwiches its six-week fall season into the post-Labor Day lull before the Met's opening, was offering one of the most imaginative seasons of its inventive career. For his opening, Director Julius Rudel presented an improbable but highly successful pairing of Igor Stravinsky's austerely stylized Oedipus Rex and Carl Orff's lightly lyrical Carmina Burana, both conducted by Leopold Stokowski. The audience took to the double feature so enthusiastically that an additional performance was scheduled for last week. The season's second big hit: a superb...
...Shakespeare and show business into sprightly, slangy German. Then, to give the Cole Porter score bite, he put an edge on the staid Volksoper orchestra in the form of a dozen Viennese axmen, most of whom cut up in brass.

Perhaps most revolutionary of all at the Volksoper, where talent often plays second...
...firm to organize a neo-Nazi International, with contacts in France, Britain, Spain and Argentina. German firms looking for business in Madrid were told to see Otto Skorzeny, the scar-faced ex-SS officer who recaptured Mussolini in 1943. In Buenos Aires the man to see was Hans Ulrich Rudel, the one-legged Panzer knacker (tankbuster) now attached to Dictator Perón's army-training staff, who last week was given special leave to fly to Germany for a "whirlwind tour of speeches" on behalf...
...clumps of penny-ante Hitlers got together in something called the German Reich Party, and have blatantly put forward such candidates as Dr. Werner Naumann, former state secretary of the Nazi Propaganda Ministry, recently arrested (and released) for allegedly plotting to overthrow the Bonn Republic and Colonel Hans Ulrich Rudel, a onetime Luftwaffe ace now living in Argentina. Busy last week warding off the left, Konrad Adenauer threw a worried glance over his shoulder at such distressing signs on the right, warned his countrymen not to play with that kind of fire...
