I have to say, Night of the Living Dead is not the sort of film I was expecting to be put to song. I also feel like I could not take an opera of Night of the Living Dead seriously. On the other hand, it could be fun to go see. I have to wonder what genre of music would be appropriate for a zombie play. I do wonder how the public sees the difference between an opera and a musical.
