Mark your calendars! The Zombie Opera returns to Jersey City on Saturday (October 26). Presented by Half Light Productions, the Zombie Opera started as a modest Halloween celebration on the stoops of Jersey Avenue during the height of the pandemic. Since its inaugural 2020 show, it has grown into a full performance reaching audiences of over 2,500 people.
The Zombia Opera 2024 show will be themed 50s sci-fi. The performance will be held at Hamilton Park from 4pm through 9pm. Admission is free. (Food vendors will be available starting at 4pm).
The cast consists of highly-acclaimed opera singers who in the past have performed scenes from operas including Faust, La Traviata, La Boheme, Carmen, Rigoletto, and more. Last year, the Zombie Opera had an 80s prom theme and featured a chamber orchestra and choir.
The Zombie Opera will be directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker and founder of Half-Light Productions, Catriona Rubenis-Stevens. The show was founded in Jersey City by Molly Dunn and Rubenis-Stevens.
