Fistfight at the symphony:
The concert never stopped, but Muti shot a glance over his left shoulder toward the box where the punches were thrown. One concert-goer described the look as “dagger eyes.”
Robinson said Muti merely paused longer than would be expected and then continued on to the third movement - after getting a signal from someone up in the box.
“Mind you, he never stopped conducting,” Robinson said. “He very gracefully, without missing a beat - literally - he brought [the second movement] to a very quiet and subdued close, while still looking over his left shoulder.”
