balinese opera (arja)


☕ Because arja is a specific local term (in this regard, Balinese), we can only make approximation to give global audience that have little knowledge about Bali. Because it involves a mix of dancing, singing, and drama, opera is the closest equivalence.

☕ Translation-wise, we can turn the most common way of introducing *difficult* phrase: put it in the brackets. This yields: Balinese opera (arja). Bon Gita Suara could be the troupe performing the show, so the entire phrase will be: With Balinese opera (arja) by Bon Gita Suara.

↪ For sure, if space allows, we can always put more explanatory word, such as Balinese-style opera (arja).
