I heard of a full-time professional orchestra conductor conducting "Mahler's 11th", but cut off the orchestra in the middle of the movement to yell at the audience to "stop making odd noises". This was not seen as an affront and the conductor was forgiven by everyone involved. Not everyone can act professional all the time. Needless to say, from then on, a pre-recorded message is now played before each concert, reminding audience members not to "make odd noises". Fill in the quotes.
