If you can, you must do the @LEEDS_2023 @Opera_North As you Are guided soundwalk. Unexpectedly moving and just a glorious way to move around the city. #asyouareleeds pic.twitter.com/XyWVlSooP5

Absolutely wonderful 40 minutes spent wandering through Leeds with the As You Are audio tour. If the buildings could sing this is what they’d sound like… pic.twitter.com/7DH6jECPlv

This was such a wonderful experience and seeing Leeds from a different perspective – looking up rather than head down getting to where you need to go. Leeds is beautiful! This was beautiful @Abel_Cellist @Opera_North #Leeds2023 #ASYOUARELEEDS https://t.co/ThUyZEfbZE pic.twitter.com/VkPEwfaIhQ

Leeds Year of Culture really is something special. Highly recommend Opera North’s As You Are soundwalk, strolling around the city with some African inspired music in your headphones. pic.twitter.com/G1koS0LAGc

As someone who lives here, I have walked around Leeds thousands of times to various different sounds, but doing it with a blend of African heritage soundtrack in #AsYouAreLeeds performed by Orchestra and Chorus of @Opera_North truly transforms the city! pic.twitter.com/psbNznJJCG
