Imagine you’re standing in a crystal clear stream, water trickling around you, winding and weaving its way lazily downstream, gliding smoothly over the pebbles and rocks that attempt to block its passage. Now imagine this – a city of the future, 1,000 years away. Think of thousands of bright lights, buildings full of strange angles and curvy lines – a city where no one building is the same. Everything has its place, everything is unique. Put the two together and you get a pretty clear picture of the Guangzhou Opera House.
