Definition
剧目 (jùmù) refers to a specific theatrical piece (a play or opera) or a repertoire of such pieces. It focuses on the performance work itself, not the art form — that is 戏剧 (xìjù, 'drama, theater') — nor the written text, which is 剧本 (jùběn, 'script'). Think of 剧目 as the individual production you watch or program.
