A good friend of mine is trying to contact an opera school in Beijing and had some email contact with them, which has suddenly stopped. His calls to their phone have gone unanswered and he's trying to find out of they are still around. If there's anyone in Beijing who has some free time to try and contact them locally that would be a big help.
PM me and I'll give you more details. he's an amazingly talented Chinese-American performer and director who has exhausted all the schools here to study Chinese opera.

Thanks.
