[QUOTE="aroy, post: 306759, member: 16090"] As others have suggested, go to the Auditorium one day ahead. - Take your 18-55 with you. Start at the rear of the auditorium; then 2/3 from front, 1/3 from front and front row; and check the field of view at 18-55mm adjusting the focal length to suit your view. - Now you know what focal length is required where. As you max out at 55mm, I doubt it will suffice beyond 1/2 way from front. At front row you may need 25-35mm. If you do not want to buy any more lenses, then aim to position your self where the 50mm will cover what you want (keep a bit of a margin all round). If you can, get the 35mm F1.8 DX. That is an excellent low light lense. A few days ago I shot a concert with this lense. Without flash I got decent images at ISO 800 and ISO 1600. It was a bit less wide from the front row, but perfect 1/4 from center.
