It is interesting with the assumptions that you make. For one thing,
how do you assume that I wear a suit to go to the opera? When I go
to the opera, I go in my bicycling shorts and tee shirt just like
anywhere else. 

What is the sense of wearing a suit to the opera? No one is going
to look at me anyways. Most operas are in dark theaters. If anyone
looks at me an a strange way, I tell them that the action is on
the stage and not here in my crotch.

If it rains, well, I dry off fairly quickly in the men's room before
the show. Then I am comfortable.

As far as the nam radio equipment is concerned, I take it off the
bike and bring it inside with me. No problem.
