Why fast you ask, well sometimes the picture you want is in the darkest hole that has never seen a candle. So, a 28 to 35, your Noct, and a 90 to 135. If you have really good access then the 15 might bring home some interesting shots. I would recommend Neopan 1600 but if you don't have any then the 3200 that you are used to will work especially if down rated to 1600 for some shadow detail. If you can and want to shoot color then Fuji Press 800 would be a great choice. Lighting tends to be very hot; spots then nothing so take care and meter what you want to come out. If the light is coming directly from overhead then watch what happens to the eye sockets: you will have to shoot when their head and eyes turn into the light or change your position accordingly. Last, see if you can find a position that juxtaposes the musician(s) and the audience. Play with exposure to find the best story with the lighting you have. Oh, really last, enjoy the show.
