"A beloved local arts institution is giving a Jersey-themed spin to a frequently performed work of European classical music and theater."
from “Undead Arts (and NJSO) Brings Mozart’s ‘Magic Flute’ to Harborside in May” by Tris McCall for Jersey City Times // January 8, 2026

"These signature events carry with them the creative aspirations of a scene that, at least for one weekend in late October, chooses to put play, and play-acting, ahead of profit. They’re fun, they’re frivolous, they’re freaky, and they’re entirely ours. If we’re a little protective of them — if we’re ready to lose ourselves in their dark and delicious shadows — only a monster could blame us."

" The Zombie Opera has risen from the catacombs to become one of the city’s best-loved annual events: a combination of serious classical voice and pure theatrical silliness that has scored every Halloween since the beginning of the pandemic. "

"while the team of Catriona Rubensis-Stevens, Molly Dunn and Katy Gardiner adore their silly business, they remain dead serious about great singing. Zombie Opera continues to attract world-class vocal talent to the Downtown with the promise of a great time. A big audience, too."

"Relentless they are. They just keep coming, popping up in places where we don’t expect them, determined to get at you, right in our faces with their unique mixture of horror, preposterousness, and delight. Do I mean zombies? Well, sure. But I could also be talking about Undead Arts, the spooky folks responsible for the Zombie Opera that haunts Hamilton Park every October. Their amalgam of classical voice, grotesque theater, and horror movie schtick has simply proven too entertaining to lie dormant for eleven months."

" By now, the Zombie Opera is as entrenched an October tradition as the Ghost of Uncle Joe’s: the annual monster/sci-fi movie come to life at the Hamilton Park gazebo has become an indispensable part of Jersey City’s Halloween."
