This is an amazing shot - what an occasion to be able to photograph!
I have two real suggestions.
First, in taking the shot, I think I would have tried to move to the right a little, to isolate the woman more from the figures (and bright areas) on the right. My mod clones and burns in to subdue them, but finding the optimum camera position is always best.
Second, once i'd got the very dark and mysterious scene, I would dodge and burn to make more of the tonal differences there are in there. Dodging highlights in the faces and clothes, and the fumes from the lights, definitely adds to the drama.

This is excellent. You used the wide lens distortion to great advantage here, and thankfully didnt correct it. It really works well, stretching her hands and fingers out in a very dramatic fashion.
I like the description too, - it nice to learn something new.
I have uploaded a mod along the lines of the suggestion by dudler; cropped a little (rotate) and get the woman dead centre; darken to upper right, enhance some of the brighter areas in the middle.
Very nice shot.
