Can you use a conventional compact binocular or antique binocular at the opera? Yes, though conventional options may offer too much magnification if you are seated close to the stage, meaning it will have a much narrower field of view and be more difficult to hold steady. On the other hand, many contemporary opera halls and large venue concert auditoriums are much larger than a traditional opera house and an 8x binocular may be a better choice, especially if you are seated far off.

A compact pair of low power binoculars in basic black with better quality lenses and wide enough field of view may deliver reverse snob appeal when you carry them with the right attitude. If you want a program light, you can probably install one on your smartphone. If your particular concert is going to be outside, conventional binoculars are more likely to be waterproof.
