Opera Van Java (abbreviated as OVJ) is an improvisation comedy show broadcast on the Indonesian TV station Trans7. The show's concept is of wayang orang performances in a modern setting. As such, all positions are referred as wayang.[2]
The sketches are varied. They may be adapted from Indonesian folklore, biographies of famous persons, fiction, mystery stories, foreign stories, or popular culture.
The name Opera Van Java likely comes as a parody of nickname of several places in Java by the Dutch during Indonesia's colonial times (i.e. Parijs van Java (Paris of Java) for Bandung), hence the name means Opera of Java.
On 15 August 2016, Opera Van Java was revived with the new stars.
