Conductor John Eliot Gardiner has pulled out of the Proms after a violent incident. The traditional Proms festival of classical music concludes today at the Royal Albert Hall in London. We will see the final broadcast live from Great Britain. A couple of weeks ago, the Proms ended up in the headlines. Conductor John Eliot Gardiner withdrew from his post due to the violent incident. He attacked William Thomas, who was the soloist. According to the British media, the reason would have been that Thomas would have left the stage from the wrong side in Gardiner’s opinion. The act took place behind the scenes and the audience did not witness it.
