Wuju (Chinese: 婺剧; pinyin: Wùjù), also known as Jinhua opera, is a form of Chinese opera from Jinhua in central Zhejiang province, east-central China. It is also performed in Lishui, Linhai, Jiande, Chun'an, Zhejiang, as well as in northeastern Jiangxi province, in cities such as Yushan, Shangrao, Guixi, Boyang, and Jingdezhen.[1] It is named for Wuzhou (婺州), an ancient name for Jinhua.
There are eleven Wuju troupes in eastern China.[2][3]
