About this audio guide
This guide to the Nuremberg State Theater follows the opera house Berlin architect Heinrich Seeling finished in nineteen oh five, and the decorative painter Karl Selzer who helped him dress it in lavish Jugendstil. It mixes a little room acoustics with the story of what happened to that interior in nineteen thirty-five, and asks why a building can sound different from the day it opened. Best heard standing in front of the main entrance, facing the mosaic.
