About this audio guide
This guide to the Zhuhai Opera House on Yeli Island, Zhuhai, follows the competition held in two thousand nine to design an opera house on the sea, and Professor Chen Keshi's Peking University team as it climbed the rankings. You'll hear where the idea of a sun, a moon and a local scallop came from, and about the years of steel and glass that followed on reclaimed land. Best heard from the waterfront path with both shells in view.
