Thanks Mike, its working great. Only thing I got to figure out is that  a
namespace is being thrown in.

<instrument type="BreadCrumb" id="PageBreadCrumb"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
 <Breadcrumb>
 <Topic title="Home" link="/">
 <Topic title="Services" link="/services">
  <Topic title="Content Management" link="/services/content-management" /> 
  </Topic>
  </Topic>
  </Breadcrumb>
  </instrument>

Using XSLT - the <xsl:copy/> and <xsl:copy-of/> elements should give you 
what you need.

So - using XSLT;
Assuming you are processing DocumentB.xml as current document - the 
following will construct you're combined <theater> element.

<xsl:template match='theater'>
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select='@*'/>   <!-- this copies any attributes on 
<theater> - although you currently have none -->
<xsl:copy-of select='instrument'/>
<instruments>
<xsl:copy-of 
select='document("Breadcrumb.xml")/ensemble/theater/instrument'/>
</instruments>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
