Opera
歌劇 is the Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja for opera.
This term applies in almost all cases to western opera versus Asian operas or musical plays.
Beijing Opera
jīng jù
Kyougeki
京劇 is the title for “Beijing Opera.”
Because it's the opera of the capital, this is seen as the national opera of China. Therefore, this title can also be translated as “Classical Chinese Opera.”
Monkey King
hóu wáng
猴王 is the short title for “Monkey King.” This can refer to the character made famous by the ancient novel Journey to the West.
This literally reads “Monkey King.” However, this title is open to interpretation and could be used for someone who is the boss of the primate exhibit at the zoo or certain characters in Chinese opera.
