Experience the wild landscape above Haworth, West Yorkshire in a totally new way with Earth & Sky, Opera North’s immersive soundwalk for Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture.
Explore the countryside made famous by the Brontës while listening to a special soundscape featuring music, field recordings and poetry.
Alongside brand new commissions from three contemporary women composers, a sound artist and a local poet, you’ll hear the Orchestra of Opera North and the voices of the Chorus of Opera North. Simply download the Earth & Sky app and off you go! The soundwalk runs throughout summer and early autumn, until 12 October 2025.

To create Earth & Sky, Opera North invited contemporary electronic composer and Venice Biennale’s artistic director of music, Caterina Barbieri, Kenyan experimental composer Nyokabi Kariũki and Welsh multidisciplinary artist Gwen Siôn to create new music and sound works in response to the untamed upland.
The resulting soundscapes are woven together with on-site field recordings by artist Sarah Keirle-Dos Santos and new poetry written especially for the walk by our Voice of the Hills, Bradford-born poet Nabeelah Hafeez. |
Earth & Sky is commissioned and produced by Opera North for Bradford 2025 City of Culture’s Wild Uplands programme and supported by the Delius Trust. A digital version of the work is available here and has been created to ensure everyone gets the chance to enjoy this immersive experience. |
