A very brief answer to a very complex question - There is 'western' Opera and there is 'Eastern' [Chinese] opera. The differences between East and West opera? Chinese opera is uniquely different from Western opera because there are so many details such as origins, storylines, costumes, facial painting, stage rituals, customs, character types etc. And the 'music', well you must listen because it is impossible to describe except to say it is totally unlike 'Western' opera music and the singing is just as different - factually it is an acquired taste. 'Western' opera is such as Mozart, Wagner, Beethoven, Verdi etc.

Western Opera use higher formants of the face and use a "coated" sound, not a white sound. Opera singers sing with their back of their throats open... as far as I am hearing the Peking opera singers tend to sing through their nose and their sound is uncouted, it is flat, just like the sound of a baby crying.
