In an anarchist society, the '''Babel Proms''' would be the continuation of what is now the '''BBC Proms''', as revised by [[Canada|Canadian]] music project [[Babel (music)|Babel]]. [[Classical music]] would continue to be performed in [[London]]'s [[Royal Albert Hall]], except other artists representing other countries and genres would be eligible to perform as well. This turns the iconic classical music festival into a celebration of sounds and colours. Every fifth season, the festival goes global with the '''International Gala''', which expands beyond classical music. [[Dance]] and [[Theatre|theatrical]] performances, including [[opera]] and [[ballet]], would be performed at the Royal Opera House. Initially it would seem ambitious to expand further into [[sports]] but who knows?
