Will Beijing Opera Fall To History?
"The worry is that, like the city's old neighborhoods, Beijing opera could fall victim to China's rampant commercialism and modernization. If it did, it would be a bit like Italy consigning Verdi or Donizetti to a few small halls in Milan and Rome, or to those folkloric shows for tourists who mostly do not know much about what they are seeing."
