Description

The Monkey King (the character is also known as Sun Wukong) has inspired countless interpretations in popular culture. Based on the classic Chinese novel, Journey to the West, the opera combines music and text with puppetry, dance, Peking opera, and Buddhist sutras to tell the adventure-filled tale of this legendary and beloved figure who was born from stone and strove against the odds to find the secret to immortality.
