Join us for an inspirational evening of music making as over 250 pupils from schools from across West Yorkshire join forces to perform a specially commissioned arrangement of The Water Diviner’s Tale written by award-winning film composer Rachel Portman and librettist Owen Sheers. 

The Water Diviner’s Tale focuses on the theme of climate change and how we are all responsible and accountable for our actions here on earth. School children will be performing as part of a massed choir, accompanied by professional soloists, narrator and members of the Orchestra of Opera North.
