The reason I didn't comment on this post yesterday was pretty much because of what you said here. My first instinct was to say, "Be true to yourself" but given what you've already said about how different the culture is where you were, I wasn't sure that that was appropriate, so I decided not to say anything at all.
Next time, I'll comment, even if I feel that I'm being negative. (I generally don't like to say something unless I feel it's positive.)
For whatever it's worth now, my thoughts still were that you should wear the suit because it obviously meant a lot to you that you do so, but that you might have to accept consequences for wearing it, all of which you've outlined here.

Totally unhelpful now, I know, :(.
Have a great time at the opera, :).
