Many places where concerts are given, are multifunctional in fact,
such as playing both operas and symphonic concerts, or have speech
theatre one day and chamber_music the other.

Thus having one master value for performing arts, currently
amenity=theatre, makes more sense to me than splitting this into
two dozens of subcategories.

So are the stadiums for example, but they have different tagging scheme:

In my city this is used for sport events, but also for big musical concerts and other completely unrelated venues, like book fairs. Cinemas are also explicitly excluded from theater tagging, while they are also multifunctional. I guess it makes tagging the main purpose perfectly valid strategy. Also theaters are probably not the most universal description of halls.

It's also interesting why the list exist gathering concert halls of the world (definition is given on top):

The latter are characterised by the theatre:genre tag, the only
flaw with the current design of genre is that I cannot assign
multiple values to the same venue.

Genre may be too specific in many cases, so maybe theatre:type? We could also fix the problem with genres with:

theatre:genre=xxx -> theatre:genre:xxx=yes
