It could work, but you can also change the volume of the audience throughout the video... As you hear them soft when the music plays, and louder when the song is finished...
Take a look at the "Jarre In China" for what I (somewhat) meen, the moment's on the DVD when the music play's is completly empty from audience but inbetween them you clearly hear them... If you have them somewhat underneath the music track it could work out very well
Or you could do it the hard way and make two different mixes, it's hard but that way the person watching can decide if he/she want's with ot without

Not really, but you are loosing part's of the screen that still feature's information. If you would crop it to 16*9 and not do a sort of Pan and Scan (Pan and Scan is actually for going from Widescreen to Fullscreen, but there is also something that does exactly the same for Fullscreen to Widescreen, but I forgot the name of it), you will loose screen and if not done right, you will lose important information on the video...
For example, when you crop to 16*9 without any actual scanning the screen, you will sometimes get Jarre's head half in screen with the rest falling off, or miss a part of the fireworks (and considering the OIM DVD is already missing some beautifull fireworks because it wasn't recorded inWidescreen), you will barely keep any fireworks left at all...
There is a reason why many director's hate cropping, let alone someone else! Every read Stanley Kubrick's reaction to: 2001 A Space Oddysy in Pan And Scan, I can tell you, it wasn't nice
Fortunately I do it mostly for myself and don't need your appreciation. But still... you could show some interest. Anyway, all three sources are finally in full sync and I can start picking scenes and do some real editing.
