    Just wear the same thing you would to a wedding or a funeral. Light colors are a good match for classical.

    I would think a simple business suit for men and the equivalent for women would be sufficient. I have attended concerts in jeans and sweatshirts, it depends on the concert.

    I went to my first one last March. I just wore a nice dress. That seemed to be the way most of the ladies dressed. There were a very few that were in long gowns, but not that many.

    The men wore either dress shirts and slacks or suits.

    Enjoy!

    nice, neat casual wear is okay, you haven’t said what gender you are. wear dress shoes.

    Wear a ‘Wolfgang Mozart Rocks!’ T-shirt if you want to be put on stage!!

    Just kidding. You could probably get by with dressing casual-formal. Might as well be comfortable…

    Three peice Black yes Black suit with a single big buttoned jacket with tails and a white tuxedo with a white tie NOT a black one.

    Black polish leather shoes (must be tight) white laced gloves and a thin 1950′s styled cigar will go down a treat.

    A black or grey tailored long coat will also be complimentary

    I went to the Opera and I wore a nice little black dress and my hair down, so I mixed a nice outfit with a decent hair style (instead of the I’m getting married after this look) and my boyfriend wore some black slacks and a nice button up dress shirt and a tie, it was perfect, if he would’ve thrown a blazer or the matching suit top it would’ve been too hot for him but even that looks very proper. At the Opera I saw ( I swear) people wearing from prom looking dresses to jeans an a shirt with a baseball hat on! Even though it is hot outside it will be cool inside and a nice pair of black slacks, a nice button up dress shirt and a matching tie will do. Have fun!!

    If you can’t wear "After Eight" apparel- AND- there’s a general understanding in your area that formal-wear isn’t appropriate for the current weather, just dress smart and comfortable. Business casual will probably be your best call. Good luck.

    Something in linen or cotton because the material "breathes" compared to synthetic blends and helps you keep cooler. No strapless or halter tops, please.

    Is this in the afternoon or evening? A Major presentation or a minor orchestral presentation? Were the tickets expensive?

    Afternoon – summer apparel is fine, short sleeved dress shrit and slacks for men, light summer dress for ladies
    Evening – suit and jacket, but not neccessarily a tie
    Major presentation in the evening with an expensive ticket – tis’ formal wear all the way
    If it’s less expensive, and in the evening, a minor presentatin – suit and jacet with a tie, and also semi formal for the ladies

    if the concert is at a music hall, and the city symphony is performing, then formal would be appropriate. however, if it’s a youth symphony playing in the music hall, usually the attire is semi-formal, like a dress shirt and a skirt.

    you’ll never go wrong with semiformal.
