Timeline
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 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.
