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. It is named for Wuzhou (婺州), an ancient name for Jinhua.
