News Item: John Eliot Gardiner
In August 2023, Gardiner was reported to have angrily slapped and punched English bass singer William Thomas in the face in front of cast members after Thomas exited the wrong side of the podium. — Wikipedia
A rude and excitable chap,
Whose emotions would change at a snap,
Was provoked to a rage
As the cast left the stage,
And upended his career with a slap.
