Once the Opera Event has been cleared, players can zone-in from the side entrance. To get there, head right from the main entrance, go across the creek, and find stairs that lead to a bridge and eventually a door.

The servant entrance in the mezzanine above the ballroom can help, later on, to shorten certain paths to bosses inside the raid.

Killing Shade of Aran allows you to teleport to his room by speaking to Berthold <The Doorman>, located right by the stairs just inside the raid.

Vendors and Repairs inside Karazhan

Koren <The Blacksmith>, next to Attumen the Huntsman, will repair gear for players who are Honored with The Violet Eye. He also sells some epic Blacksmithing recipes.

Ythyar, a reagent and The Consortium reputation reward vendor, can repair gear outside of the Gamesman's Hall, in the room before the Chess Event.
