Hello Peter.
I found this same issue 2 years ago, when tagging Salurinn
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/180359924#map=19/64.11188/-21.90910
We achieve this by using the correct tag, in this case
amenity=music_hall (both classical and smaller pop concerts are played
there). There is no ultimate judge, use it and it becomes a standard.
