Famed conductor Herbert von Karajan was ordered Wednesday by an Austrian court in Salzburg to take a blood test as part of a paternity suit filed by a woman he is alleged to have fathered 44 years ago. The court ordered the test on the 80-year-old Austrian in a case filed by Ute de Doncker and her 69-year-old mother. Von Karajan denies having fathered De Doncker during a brief romance with the mother in Berlin in 1943. Reuters news agency did not identify De Doncker’s mother.
