Queenly Beehive. At 8:37 a.m., the propitious moment selected by court astrologers more than a year earlier, the royal priest placed the mammoth jewel-encrusted crown on the King's head and a diamond tiara atop Queen Aishwarya's beehive hairdo. Then came salutes from the King's loyal subjects, starting with three-year-old Prince Deependra decked out in a miniature military uniform. For the afternoon parade-music was provided by regimental bands, including one of Nepalese bagpipers-the royal couple rode on the King's tusker elephant, Prem Prasad, while the other...

He already has an avid youthful following as a result of his appearances at London's summertime prom concerts, and he hopes to attract the same following to Covent Garden. "I'd like an audience that has less interest in the past and more interest in the present and is an average of 15 years younger...
