I was at a classical concert about 6 months before covid. Toward the end of the last piece on the programme as the double-basses finished playing a section they all, in unison, suddenly span their instruments as though they were part of a jazz band. This was followed by lots of other strange moves & dancing around the orchestra sections, culminating in the violins doing a Mexican wave, all the while playing impeccably as the conductor slowly lost his mind.
At the end of the piece, as the orchestra then segued straight into 'Happy Birthday to You', the audience caught on & joined in singing. The orchestra had turned up the prank level to 11 for the conductor's birthday.

I miss this moments. I remember my grandmother asking me to go to a Concert with her but I was only alone backstage standing there watching the rest and I asking were was my grandmother then I saw my grandpa doing the piano solo and my grandmother singing beside him. It was awesome and the greatest memory of my grandparents ever. I was 6 back then and I'm sad that I can't go anymore and see both of them again.

I have a hard time understanding opera singers but I love how much personality the soprano at 1:30 sings with. She seems like a fun person

As an orchestral musician, I can attest to the fact that every single time I've performed Firebird, nearly everyone in the audience jumps, and at least one audience member audibly gasps at the downbeat to the third movement. I also teach classroom music, and I play this for my students every year just so I can get that reaction and get the kids to laugh out loud.
