About this audio guide
This guide to the Zhuhai Opera, the Grand Theatre on Yeli Island in Zhuhai, follows Chen Keshi, a Peking University professor who had never designed an opera house when the city called for entries in two thousand nine. It touches a student's idea about a local scallop, a design contest that did not end the way its first results said, and the money worries that shadowed construction. Best heard on the waterfront, with both shells in view.
