Ringtone halts Ravel concert

Ananova reports that French conductor Marc Soustrot stopped a Danish Symphony Orchestra performance of Ravel's Daphne and Chloe, in Copenhagen, when he heard a ringtone from the seats.

He waited for the ringing to stop, then asked his musicians to begin the performance from the start, making them repeat a large section of the ballet score.
