The Proms is a summer season of daily classical music concerts and other events in London. The season lasts seven weeks and there are concerts every night. Most of the concerts are performed at the Royal Albert Hall. Nowadays it is the biggest classical music festival in the world. The famous festival started more than a hundred years ago. Robert Newman, the manager of the Queen's Hall in London, met a talented young musician and conductor Henry Wood. They decided to organize a series of summer concerts. They hoped that these concerts would educate people about classical music and hopefully make this kind of music more popular. The concerts would begin with easy pieces of music and gradually introduce more challenging compositions. And so, the first of the Proms was performed on August 10, 1895. These concerts also went under the name of Mr Robert Newman's Promenade Concerts. The original concerts lasted for three hours and were a mix of classical music in the first half and pieces from popular operas in the second. They were called Promenade concerts because a large part of the audience area had no seats and people had to stand during the performances. This is still true at the Proms concerts in London today. During the original Proms the spectators could smoke, eat and drink, as Newman and Wood wanted to keep the atmosphere as informal as possible. Nowadays the Proms are still very popular. A lot of people visit it every year. The most famous is the Last Night of the Proms. The orchestra plays popular tunes and the people sing along. Задание:
