World of Warcraft Soundtrack - Karazhan [Opera House]

[@Shablo5]

Karazhan was one of the most fantastic raids of all of WoW. Whenever I describe it to people who've never run it (For shame, my friends) is... It was a story. It was a children's storybook, gone wrong. But not gone like 'bloody' wrong, just imagine that the big bad wolf actually got little red riding hood, or imagine that the wicked witch of the west got her way. That's how I describe this raid. This raid was utterly fantastic, unique, and amazingly fun.

[@bernard3303]

I remember doing karazhan raid solo, and I was TERRIFIED. It took around a month for the 12 year old me to stop having nightmares 😂

[@Rebornbaby666]

I like how this is a 11 years old comment talking about how cool Karazhan was, and here am I to say that it STILL kicks ass

[@KDE4LIFEBAYBAY]

I solo'd it when I was 8. No problems for me. Other than "BRO HOW THE FRICK DO I FIND THE BOSSES???"

[@따봉-y2w]

I agreed 👍

[@DrAnimePhD]

Tonight, a tale of true terror. Now, ON WITH THE SHOW!

[@DisabledRat]

Nice sombra skull

[@DrAnimePhD]

TopkeKTV Someone appreciates the skull. I am now happy.

[@kisu-h7f]

Tonight, a tale of a terrible tragedy...

[@CordyBrush]

I HAVE NO TIME FOR GAMES! (trombone sound)

[@Sir_Wader]

TastyBrush you mean?: Gorge your hatred. Embrace your rage!

[@WidgetMoriya]

More like: BY FIRE BE PURGED!

[@Sir_Wader]

I am the essence of magic?

[@suffy8396]

MrMexico You require my assistance?

[@thefriendlygiantbear7839]

This song was a waltz, played for the numerous guests of Medivh, long ago. Back then, it sounded beautiful, as a lullaby is. But now the mind of Medivh has become insane, so has the music that once conveyed the voice of his soul.

[@thefriendlygiantbear7839]

Take a look at Karazhan. He has a freaking opera house with the ghosts of thousands of guests. Does that sound lonely to you?

[@kalebo33]

+Aleksa Petrovic That's because he killed most of them and dumped their corpses in the crypt :)

[@Bl0ppe]

+kalebo33 Yo guys, from the book they were only 3 when Rollin came in

[@snoreway]

Raiding Kara many nights a week with my beloved guildies. This tune is something I wont forget. those were good times. :) nostalgia at its finest!

[@Zaltrus]

A Holy Priest who was involved in this dungeon. ✋🤧👍

[@ncvbjx8472]

ayooo

[@electrogypsy8627]

best raid in wow

[@Gebirges]

and most hated mythic +

[@Blodacer]

he's talking about the raid from BC not the legion instance

[@Gebirges]

Karazhan stays Karazhan, so it's the same thing.

[@Blodacer]

nope the instance is something different pls go into the good old raid...

[@Gebirges]

You don't get it...

[@supermiki2]

if this doesn't play in the movie we riot.

[@CEORobbo]

Riot activated

[@g.o.d.6752]

Would not fit the karazhan when medivh were alive

[@ashe274]

Play this at my wedding. And all my big birthdays. ...And my funeral.

[@steensborg]

We need more mysterious creepy dungeons in this game... Karazhan ftw

[@RedClawWowinwc3]

I played this song on organ at school and got a A+ 8D Thanks wow again for your help in my life!

[@ncvbjx8472]

I hope you succeded in life

[@zim57]

"Welcome, Ladies and Gentlemen, to this evening's presentation!" I will never forget you, Stage Master Barnes.

[@Grogritark]

Best soundtrack in WoW.

[@feloria1862]

+Grogritark i like wintergrasp's music more, but this is good too

[@LaylaSpellwind]

I'd say "The Shaping Of The World" But although it's in WoW's soundtrack, it's not in the game. So this is good too! :-)

[@natanshick]

A call to arms, invincible, blackrock&roll, this one and a lot of more

[@zdenda66alorddandas86]

How could You underestimate WoW so badly ? Just because WoW offers you the Best soundtrack you ever heard doesn't mean it's not hiding even better ones.

[@zct7114]

By far

[@feloria1862]

The first instrument is a harpsichord if anyone wanted to know

[@maranathashalom9402]

Exactly what I came here for today. Thank you kind stranger from the past! Don't come to 2021, it's horrible! :P

[@feloria1862]

[@EpicRaidersOfWoW]

my first time in Kara, the raid took 7 hours. We have a 70 healer, me (72 dps warrior), a 73 mage, and a 80 naxx-geared pally. I was completely blown away by this raid! By taking so long, you really get a chance to see all the scenery!

[@andrasSK]

unannounced visitors, Preparations must be made

[@Nocure92]

Ivan Andrašov How terribly clumsy of me...

[@Xokoy]

The amount of times that I heard this...my raid group would hardly ever wipe more than 3 times on Opera but Moroes...oh Jesus that was a completely different story...

[@paulooctavio8082]

'' TONIGHT, A Tale of GOOD OST! ''

[@-divinetragedy]

ooh, aoe 2!

[@Eradiel]

Impossible not to think about dracula and the ghost of the opera, this song is magnificent. ♥

[@TheGuyWithBass]

FUN FACT: In patch 6.1, a Garrison Jukebox will be implemented and if you can get the corresponding item, you can set this as background music in your Garrison.

[@nortor100]

really?

[@TheGuyWithBass]

Really, the music drops off of the Opera event boss once you unlock the music box, not a guaranteed drop though

[@ricardofloresvalda4162]

Captian P NICE :D

[@TheGuyWithBass]

Fray FiliPo LiPee I got it on my second run

[@stevefurytv]

Captian P Second run? Its a 100% drop lol

[@SirSamVimesSA]

The harpsichords kicking in in the 7.1 trailer made me look this up again. Blizzard needs to start using harpsichords again.

[@Xear00]

Black rook hold?

[@nordicfatcheese]

Return to Karazhan

[@KingLich451]

REMEMBER LEGION???

[@Hito343]

Karazhan and Ulduar period, they're unique full or RPG elements and are just peak Blizzard.

[@chainedskulls1582]

is it me or does this music make u feel more relaxed and like ur at a old old opera house?

[@chainedskulls1582]

agreed ^-^

[@Ammanthiel]

This is my favourite WoW ost.

[@Arkonu]

It’s a nice waltz. I wish there was a one hour loop of this.

[@Tifflet]

oh the memories, WoW would be nothing without the epicness of the music, thanks to the composers and musicians involved.

[@MrAyeSir]

This is perfect! When I make my own haunted castle of never-to-be-returned, I'm going to install speakers everywhere and play this theme 24/7.

[@azlil1]

Omg, nostalgia. :'(

[@yumes_studio]

Forever will be one of my favorite raids.

[@klins061]

Yeah, a harpsichord is an early predecessor of the piano. It has at least one keyboard, sometimes more than one for organists who would often practice on harpsichords. The sound comes from pressing the keys which cause plectrums inside the body of the instrument to pluck strings of varying lengths, in contrast to the piano which strikes strings with felt covered hammers. The harpsichord fell out of use mainly because it had no way to control dynamics (volume) and it doesn't have a sustain pedal.

[@nanach6276]

An expensive nice hotel had this soundtrack for the breakfast while we where sitting outdoors by the pools. Made my day

[@GoIdenbaum]

Tonight, a tale of true terror!

[@Mista_Cassla]

I miss this raid so much!

[@ahmad8-8-8]

Lol

[@SleeplessStreams]

For my guys that haven't played since BC, they remade this as a dungeon in Legion and the sequel version features a trippy Alice in Wonderland-like segment and sequels to all the operas. Come back just for Return to Karazhan.

[@wimplo897]

i rememeber my first time entering karazhan i turned up the music and just soaked it in unforgettable

[@Pixelpiers]

The hearthstone karazahn main theme remix is a fantastic homage

[@DavisProductins]

This music feels like some ghost theatre show music... and horribly reminds me of old stories as child.

[@MemoryDestiny]

...maybe because they did that song for a full ghost section of karazhan? xD

[@DavisProductins]

MemoryDestiny I know, right? But, that's not what I meant to say...

[@Maxranviir]

+Davis Productions Fantastic for some ERP in Gilneas

[@DavisProductins]

Maxranviir Roflmao xD

[@Blue-Tick.]

I like how the music is calm, even sexy at the start, and then... the fun begins!!!

[@CeFer91]

Fucking great... makes me wanna dance around like a fuckin' music box doll

[@Breg22]

Amazing. They intentionally have out of tune notes to make you feel like you're in this beautiful yet twisted place.

[@KronikMTL]

0:26 is eargasmic

[@Spurgusoturi]

' 'Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to this evening's presentation!' 'Tonight, things are not what they seem, for tonight, your eyes may not be trusted.' 'Take for instance this quiet, elderly woman, waiting for a visit from her granddaughter. Surely there is nothing to fear from this sweet, gray-haired old lady.' 'But don't let me pull the wool over your eyes. See for yourself what lies beneath those covers. And now: On with the show!''

[@rayromanov]

Whoa, hadn't heard this one in quite a while, and what a massive inspiration it suddenly is. Brb, painting a creepy castle or something.

[@EspadaNeliel77]

By far the best music of Karazhan. It gives the place such a great atmosphere. I miss the old raiding days, but I go back there all the time still and make sure the music is up loud and all the lights are off ^.^

[@chopsy9026]

We're coming back

[@Blue-Tick.]

"Unwanted visitors? Preparations must be made" - Moroes

[@wovenv2]

The piano gets it sound from small "hammers" hammering the strings, the harpsichord from plectrums picking the strings.

[@MasterJoni]

Raiding Karazhan was the golden moment of week

[@Suzakuhelldragon]

"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."

[@NoLuvJustRespect]

I absolutely LOVE the Karazhan instance!! ^-^

[@uniquesoles]

What an awesomely whimsical raid. I’ll never forget the countless amount of time spent in this place. P.S. Don’t move in flame wreath 🙃

[@Ammunaeus]

Gotta remember when you're friends coming to help you solo Kara and you just chill in the opera house listening to this for as long as you can maybe even making you finger dance to it thanks for posting this

[@EcafDas]

DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU FOR MAKING ME WANT TO RETURN

[@burnbobquist8999]

Finally after all this years i have come back to WoW and now iam soloing all the Raids from classic and BC again. I almost forgot this piece of music, it was just brilliant!

[@matthewpedersen3739]

The first track reminds me of "Tower of Babel" from one of the original Doom games as well as Karazhan. Beautiful track.

[@davidlopezherrero4476]

Qué buenos ratos! Echo de menos esa época.

[@oluftheexplorer9476]

ON WITH THE SHOW!

[@cyberjesus9971]

How and why am I jammin' to this tune? I guess my babe, nostalgia, hit me too hard this time

[@niklasthoren8500]

Bloody hell, I miss this expansion...

[@DevoutSkeptic]

Karazhan & Ulduar > all other raids in WoW

[@davikersulks9525]

Yup coment of 10 years!

[@DevoutSkeptic]

@@davikersulks9525 Damn straight

[@ghostsheepy.]

I liked siege or orgrimar

[@Vhourgannox]

TBC & WotLK > all other expansions in WoW

[@TheKobasen]

What about throne of thunder?

[@MrScootycz]

@DevoutSkeptic Malchezaar had acces to all realities and dimensions, only the fact that he controlled whole karazhan said that his power is kinda big. If not stopped, he would be able to destroy countless worlds for sure.

[@lukelindsay1887]

this is my favorite song

[@dvened]

greaaat tune

[@diehard096]

i played this at my school talent show >.<

[@snipre1]

Karazhan. What can I say of it that hasn't been said already? Many good times in there with my 10-man group, scoring guild first kills on everything post-Curator except chess when the other group had a 3-4 week lead on us, but had shoddy attendance. I still have all my screenshots of the kills from then, and will always. My only regret? I didn't play with ingame music on back then so I didn't hear some of these works of art (particularly the pieces in the tower)

[@XxAngeliniaxX]

I like this music it gives me insperation to write.. write about some poem about a looooong hallway full of dancing ghosts ( lost people who quit WoW) that dance to this music sorrowfully, some having the time of thier afterlives.. Wow what world of warcraft and some spooky dungeon and magneficent music can create in one persons imagination :D

[@yoursweetsix6six]

I loved this theme in Karazhan. Such fun times!

[@danineitorcool4697]

Me hizo recordar aquellas buenas epocas

[@mathelgar]

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this evening's presentation! Tonight, things are not what they seem... for tonight your eyes may not be trusted! Take for instance this quiet elderly woman waiting for a visit from her granddaughter... surely there is nothing to fear from this sweet, gray-haired old lady! But don't let me pull the wool over your eyes! See for yourself what lies beneath those covers! And now... on with the show!"

[@breastinspector2]

Listening to this, all my bitterness towards Blizzard just melts away.

[@lomonosov31]

kara rocks!

[@xuspirahopte5549]

According to my luck against priest, this is the theme that plays seconds before summoning an old god.

[@HoboOfLegend]

This is something else, I will one day go to karazhan just because of this track.

[@V4pa]

There is NO place like Karazhan!

[@Disti23]

Karazhan... an instant classic.

[@스틸로오토체스꺼라]

오늘 밤 놀라움과 마법이 가득한 얘기를 들어보시겠습니다!

[@Xenoni]

gotta make it a ringtone !!!

[@1AngrySloth]

this song creeps the hell out of me! xD

[@alphamoonman]

catchy for all the people who love the mysterious and luring backround music

[@Eatmykum]

badass

[@kidddd66]

IT WORKS,THE REPLAY BUTTON WORKS!

[@Tharikdaruls]

the best place ever, Please Blizzard, Bring Karazhan back to life and glory!

[@entaromira]

Tonight, a tale of glorious redemption!

[@DarthMaul1]

Kara is finally back PogChamp

[@number99chaos]

Makes standing around in my garrison waiting for dungeon/LFR pops actually bearable Its weird Everytime I hear the little bit at 0:30 I cant help but imagine this twisted little image of a little ghost girl pirouetting in the ballroom of karazhan It spooks me man, the image I came up with is the stuff of nightmares The eyes man.....the eyes....

[@Boofsylvania]

Where did you get the music disk for this song?

[@number99chaos]

The opera boss in karazhan

[@comedeath9403]

the best sound track in world of warcraft i love it!

[@Lamar933]

I would love to be an undead guest in Karazhan. Partying for all eternity? hell yeah!

[@Martoozle]

1:26 onward is the best XD . The theme has a cheery but dark mood

[@CookieXCinnamon]

1:26

[@shadowcouncil911]

Harpsichord gave the superb feeling of being Inside karazhan lol.....like being inside a banquet of ghost barons xD

[@krashy2098]

HS adventure confirmed PogChamp

[@RavenTaz]

For some reason, this tune reminded me of the early stages from Gauntlet: Dark Legacy. Good memories.

[@DavidELD]

Karazhan... The most fucked up raid in WoW history... It's like a twist of haunted mansion and a mad house... O_O

[@Blue-Tick.]

TRUE

[@Lookintobookz]

Best song to play for a Halloween party

[@ThallanarRabidtooth]

I can imagine someone using this music for Halloween, with screens or something to show the men and women dancing like they do in Karazhan, and when you get to the door..A spiral of spirits and ghosts come floating in circles around you..Lol would make you run and piss your pants..

[@bombkangaroo]

I bet your raid leader loved that.

[@runeguy277]

They don't make them this good anymore.

[@zdenda66alorddandas86]

I STRONGLY disagree with you. Mists of Pandaria and Warlords of Draenor soundtracks are one of the best music I've ever heard. It doesn't need to be your taste but that doesn't mean they aren't totally genius as well.

[@HORUSDU38]

Diabolic song ! I love it !

[@Knockduster]

This theme is stuck on replay in my mind... I have no nostalgic memories to that raid, but the atmosphere is astounding, even when one-shoting everything during solo runs. Arguably one of the greatest raids of WoW considering location and ambience. I can't judge the mechanics, though. Also, woudn't it be great if people could go into timetraveling raids? Like it is with dungeons from time to time?

[@mayanibbe499]

Great for Halloween. I was a worgen last year and all I need are some loud speakers and worgen music and this music and there you go!

[@Umbrasplight]

The pipe organ proves that anything the harpsichord can do, it can do better.

[@x_x_Lilith_x_x]

my favourite

[@brenlott1102]

Let's show our guests a good time...

[@Blue-Tick.]

True!

[@ThallanarRabidtooth]

I wish some part of Karazhan, you are running and the screen gets all twisted and the music starts playing..Your computer screen goes black..3 seconds later a zombie face screams at you like those screamer videos..Would creep the shit out of you
