DIED. Karl Böhm, 86, august Austrian conductor celebrated for his lucid, authoritative interpretations, especially of Mozart, Wagner and his friend Richard Strauss; of a stroke; in Salzburg, Austria.

In New Mexico, the dark Sangre de Cristo mountains, falling away to boundless plains, have inspired two generations of transplanted New Yorkers to envision a summertime American Salzburg or Edinburgh in 371-year-old Santa...
...newest artistic venture, the Santa Fe Festival Theater, opened last week. Set in a deftly remodeled former armory, the theater was conceived as "part of an American Salzburg" by Producing Director Thomas Kahn Gardner, 30, Executive Director Christopher Beach, 30, and Associate Director Robert Wojewodski, 31. The three met in 1975, when they were working backstage at the Santa Fe Opera...
