Classical music is not usually associated with rowdiness and mayhem. They tend to be rather well-behaved and if anything, they might express their disapproval by simplifying not clapping loudly enough. 


However, there was one major exception to this. On a single night in Paris about 110 years ago, a crowd erupted into a riot over the premiere of a ballet. 


Learn more about classical music’s most notorious evening, the premiere of the Rite of Spring, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
