The opera is accessible as soon as you have killed Moroes. You need to talk to Barnes, the Stage Manager, in order to start one of three possible events.
This post is about the most third possible event, Romulo and Julianne. It’s a three phase encounter that starts small but builds up as it goes along.

This post is about the most random (read: un-fun) event, the one about Red Riding Hood. The event is basically a tank and spank with a little twist.

This post is about the most fun event, the Wizard of Oz. It evolves around some unconventional means of crowd control and dealing with a lot of mobs at once.
The Maiden of Virtue is an optional boss encounter in Karazhan, that is accessible right from the start. She is controlling the respawns inside the guest quarters and is usually killed 3rd, after Attumen and Moroes.
The fight is basically a tank and spank encounter. However, it requires your raid to position correctly and your healers to keep up with some solid damage that will be going around. Additionally you will need at least one player that is able to dispel magic debuffs.
*Druid warning* 
Last Friday, while staying up longer than I should, I was tabbing through the LFG Tool in search for something that may help in my druid advancement. Finding groups that let a feral tank is not hard on our server, so I’m pretty fast group-bound if I want to.
So, at 21:30, i stumbled upon a few people who wanted to continue their Kara ID. They already had Attumen and Moroes down, and I got a whisper a few seconds after entering the tool. 
I was asked to offtank, and was invited quickly since I did not scream and run away immediately.
The raid had only 4 people at that moment, but it grew over the next half hour or so. After inviting a MS warrior, they seemed to realize that they were running out of tank slots, and asked me if I could maintank the show. I’m not relunctant to take important positions, but I’m not overly confident in my feral gear. I surely paid attention to all those nice bear-tank guides and blogs out there, but I’m only socketing green gems at the moment, due to lack of gold. I cringed a bit, but said yes eventually.
We started to head over to the ol’ tower as soon as we had 9 people in the group. I had mixed feeling about our healers. The first holy paladin seemed just right, sitting at mostly blues and a few epics and one or two greens. The second paladin was retribution specced, but was willing to heal and decked out in Karazhan healing gear. So we were looking for a holy priest to fill the 10th slot.
Around 20 minutes later we invited a very well-geared healing shaman, because there was no single holy priest in sight.
Okay… no shackles… we are starting at the opera… Skeletal Ushers… ugh… 
“Well, we’ll survive it” I thought, and we started to zone in and buff up.
