Held in the torchlighted, tapestry-draped courtyard of the archbishop's palace, the event will feature, in addition to its annual Mozart cycle (Cosi fan Tutte, Die Zauberflote), concerts by Sopranos Regine Crespin and Teresa Stich-Ran dall, Violinist Igor Oistrakh and the Smith-Princeton Chamber Chorus...
...when she landed from Spain at New York's Kennedy airport, the newshounds had her surrounded. She was just changing planes, she cooed, and was on her way for a three-week "vacation" in Asunción, Paraguay.

No gentleman was seen in London after the end of July, when the Prince of Wales went to Cowes for the yachting, followed by a month or so in a German spa, where he tried to reduce his immense bulk by dieting and taking the waters. Around October he went to Abergeldie for a month of grouse shooting, and he finished up the year back at Sandringham where he spent his own and the Princess's birthdays. He found the intrusion...
