There is little to suggest when this takes place in the timeline, beyond the fact it takes place after [[DW]]: ''[[The Christmas Invasion]]'' and before ''[[School Reunion]]'', or after ''[[The Age of Steel]]'' and before ''[[Army of Ghosts]]''. When reprinted by Panini in the [[The Betrothal of Sontar (graphic novel)]], the story is placed between the DWM stories ''[[Interstellar Overdrive]]'' (coincidentally also referencing music) and ''[[The Green-Eyed Monster]]'', however the latter story explicitly takes place during the time [[Mickey Smith]] is a companion, so if Panini's placement is intended to suggest when ''Opera of Doom'' takes place, then it must take place before Mickey becomes a companion in ''[[School Reunion]]''.
