I think lot depends on how much you move the camera and distract the audience around you. I'm sure my hand movements are much more bothersome in a performance than the shutter noise. Another point: I try to shoot when music or dialogue is loud. Those are more often than not the most pictorial anyhow, and in the case of piano music, a quiet passage could be marred by camera "snicks." On the other hand, If you keep the camera to your eye, and shoot only when Tippet is playing aggressively, you will get better shots and not bother the other people who've paid those outrageous ticket prices.
