About this audio guide
This guide to the Transparent Factory in Dresden, Volkswagen's glass-walled car plant, goes back to the autumn of two thousand two, when a flood left the city's opera company without a stage. It follows director Harry Kupfer, conductor Massimo Zanetti and a cast of hundreds as Bizet's Carmen moved in among the luxury sedans, with a rival carmaker's boss somewhere in the picture. Best heard in the glass foyer, looking up at the stairs and bridges.
