Chinese opera, an essential component of Chinese culture, is gaining global recognition for its cross-cultural communication. This study delves into its historical context, notable international cases, influences of media and technology, communication challenges, and strategic approaches, aiming to provide a coherent overview, identify challenges, and propose future research directions in the field. Challenges include narrow research scopes, insufficient empirical studies on communication outcomes in diverse cultural settings, and deficiencies in digital and innovative practices. Future research can propel digital communication advancements and delve into local community psychological dynamics, cultural identities, and cross-cultural educational initiatives concerning Chinese opera.
