All eyes were riveted on a orchestra playing Tchaikovsky's fifth symphony in Los Angeles on Friday, when a concertgoer yelled out a "full body orgasm." The booming scream appears to have erupted from the balcony of the Walt Disney Concert Hall, which attracted a packed audience. Audience members then turned to where the noise had originated from, and there was a woman sitting next to her partner trying to catch her breath, according to the Los Angeles Times. During the second movement of the symphony, several people moan. An audio clip of the moment – where someone is heard screaming out during a tense period of the performance – has gone viral on social media. Following the raucous commotion, the orchestra continues as normal. Magnus Fiennes, a composer and music producer, witnessed the scream during the Los Angeles Philharmonic's appearance and wrote about it on Twitter.
