From the creators of Jersey City’s beloved Zombie Opera, Undead Arts, in collaboration with the New Jersey Symphony, presents a family-friendly reimagining of Mozart’s The Magic Flute. Set in the New Jersey Pine Barrens and told through the eyes of Jersey City children, audiences will step into the iconic atrium at Harborside—with its lush greenery and stunning skylight—and enter a magical world of spirits, witches, and the infamous Jersey Devil. The production features world-class musicians from the New Jersey Symphony, a cast of international opera singers, and a children’s chorus drawn from Jersey City public schools.

Undead Arts believes every child deserves a front-row seat to imagination. All children 12 and under attend our performances free of charge, ensuring that cost or circumstance never stands in the way of creativity and joy.

Produced by Undead Arts founders Molly Dunn, Katy Gardiner, and Catriona Rubenis-Stevens, the production is directed by Rubenis-Stevens, with art direction by Gardiner and a reimagined story and script by Undead Arts. Members of the New Jersey Symphony will be led by Maestro Gregory D. McDaniel.
