Overview

A celebrated Shaoxing opera from the Journey to the West, in which Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, defeats the White-Bone Demon on the pilgrims' way west.

The play is drawn from chapter 27 of the classic novel Journey to the West and follows the Tang monk and his three disciples on their pilgrimage to the Western Heaven. In 1960 the production was filmed as a colour opera film and released in seventy-two countries and regions; it went on to win Best Opera Film at the second Hundred Flowers Awards.

It is performed by the Zhejiang Shaoxing Opera Art Research Institute, formerly the Zhejiang Shaoxing Opera Troupe, founded in 1956. Its Monkey King plays have made Shaoxing opera a landmark of Chinese theatre and an important emblem of Shaoxing and Zhejiang culture.
