If your opera house is anything like the ones I've been in, the only time the light will be bright enough for anyone to tell the difference between your charcoal jacket and a black one is for the few minutes you spend in the lobby before and after the show, and then it'll probably only be noticed if you're standing beside someone wearing black. If 'twere I, I'd keep saving the $ for the kilt, wear the charcoal Argyll, and enjoy the opera. Which one is it, by the way?
*I just reread that you're going to a ball, not to the opera. My suggestion stands, regardless.*
