It's a while since I shot stage photography and that was generally on
a small theatrical stage where light levels were around a stop lower
than they would be at a professional concert. I got round to using
medium format (645) too.
I always shot colour negative (400ASA then) and printed my own. I
used no colour balance filter on the camera and did all the
compensation in the printing. I found it was better to meter a 400ASA
film at 320ASA so that the blue sensitive layer was fully exposed in
the shadows. If it isn't, you get horrible crossed curves and it's
impossible to print. I suggest you rate the 800 colour neg materials
at no more than 640 ASA for the same reason.
