Abstract

Cantonese opera is one of the most influential Chinese traditional operas in the overseas world. In response to the national development strategy of Chinese culture going global in the new era, it has been increasingly important to further promote the globalization and influence of Cantonese opera. Based on the analysis of the English translations of four Cantonese opera plays, Dai Luer Fa-Xiang Yao, Spanking the Princess, Tragedy in the Qing Palace, and Golden Chrysanthemum, this paper explores the translation art of Cantonese opera, aiming at optimizing Cantonese opera translation.
