Optimal settings for a concert with a Nikon d5100?

Nobody else knows the style of photgraphs you want to produce.

There is only one good way to know what your camera can do and that is to take trial shots at various combinations of aperture and shutter and ISO settings.

If you want a do-anything guide for dummies just use a 200ISO, 1/125th and F4 for brightly lit performances and you'll be somewhere near it but nobody knows how far you are from the stage or anything else.

That combo won't guarantee all good shots and neither will any other single combination no matter how many thousands you spend on a camera.

Here it all is for another concert-goer. Diffeerent camera but it all works the same.

Know your own camera well or don't.

What quality you get is entirely up to you and how much you are prepared to put into it.
