Mystic Opera was founded by keyboardist and composer Anssi Pajuoja in November 2005. Anssi Pajuoja, bass player Janne Myllymäki and drummer Janne Honkanen had together power metal band called Arcadian, and Mystic Opera was founded on the ruins of it. Mystic Opera´s original line-up was completed by guitarist Sami Pilve and vocalist Emilia Rantasalo. Mystic Opera is a symphonic powerblack metal band influenced by Rhapsody, Dimmu Borgir, King Diamond and classical composers like Frédéric Chopin and Johann Sebastian Bach. The band's lyrics are based on The Lord of the Rings and Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien. In February 2006 Juha Arola replaced Janne Honkanen as Mystic Opera's drummer and in May 2006 Mira Honkanen took a place Mystic Opera´s vocals. Mystic Opera recorded first promo "Mighty Sauron" during the summer 2006. "Mighty Sauron" -promo was released at the end of December 2006. After the recording process Mystic Opera and Mira decided to finish co-operation. In February 2007 band´s line-up broke complitely because of problems with some members and their attitude in the band.
