Mozart’s The Magic Flute

Estimated concert duration: 2 hours and 10 minutes

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.
