I have a mic setup I have been playing with that might work in this situation: MS + omni's. I set up the omni's as determined by Williams' charts for omni's and put the MS in the center of the two omni's. From the four tracks I can blend in enough of the omni's for the "openness sound" and use the MS for the articulation. It is compact and easier to set up than the Eargle setup of ORTF with flanking omni's at a greater distance. I am just starting with this rig and have not tried it in a lot of situations but it did a grand job of with a classical performance of a Dohnanyi string trio and some opera excerpts.

I would test it first in your venue. And if you like it, I would love to hear how it sounds for you. And do let us know how the recordings come out. I am very envious of you and this project. Where did you say it was??? ;o)
