• Synonym歌劇かげきWrittenA Sino-Japanese word for drama centered on singing, essentially the same as 「オペラ」 but leaning toward written or formal prose; everyday speech prefers 「オペラ」.
• Synonym楽劇がくげきWrittenA stage work combining music and drama; also used as the name for Wagner's works. Less common than 「オペラ」 and more at home in written prose.

Say 「オペラ」 in everyday speech, as in 「オペラ歌手」; 「歌劇」 turns up in written or formal naming and is essentially synonymous. 「楽劇」 is rarer, for stage works blending music and drama and for Wagner's works.
