Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar

The avant-garde nature of the music and choreography caused a sensation and one of the most famous classical music riots in history in the audience. The trouble began when two factions in the audience began attacking each other, but their mutual anger was soon diverted towards the orchestra: "Everything available was tossed in our direction, but we continued to play on". Around forty of the worst offenders were ejected, possibly with the intervention of the police.
