It is wired. You meant at 2:30, right? That is obviously Kabuki music. The uploader must mixed the sound. This is a very tradictional piece of Peking operat, should never have Kabuki music in it.
Yes, the Kabuki-style scene runs from 2:23 to 2:44. Not only is the music the Kabuki rendition of Noh music (violent spirit's dance), but the choreography and the spirit's costume are borrowed from Kabuki, too. The dais is also reminiscent of the lower dais used in such Kabuki dances. It is obvious this performance of the Monkey King is an experimental one.
Besides, I noticed that the Monkey King's part in this act is played by two actors, the second relaying the first.
my eyes are welling up here. so much passion. and they work so hard to achieve it. they start training at childhood and it becomes their life after that. amazing.
For future making of Chinese Xiju videos I'd liek to know if anyone else agrees with using Xiju (theatrical performance), in place of opera. I say this because opera is an artform developed in the west and Chinese theatre was not inspired by opera but was developed in different areas of China. Instead of BeiJing opera, use Jingju. What are people's opinions on that topic?
I believe my chinese opera teacher, Zhu chu shan is the director of this play. He graduated from the Shanghai Chinese Opera school. He currently lives in the US.

When?

For instance at 1:38

Character in 1:38 is not monkey king; it is an enemy that the monkey king is fighting against.

Chinese drama has speech, aria, song, mimicry, dance and acrobatics. It's more complete than our Western drama, isn't it?
