The Yellow SofaGlyndebourne FestivalGlyndebourne on TourNo. of reviews: 6 | |
Julian Philips’s chamber opera, The Yellow Sofa, is a creaking affair at Glyndebourne |
 9 Nov 12 / Telegraph |
Visually compelling, with strong singing across the board |
| 7 Nov 12 / Classical Source |
At 75 minutes, The Yellow Sofa is already a very short opera, but an even shorter one is struggling to get out |
| 20 Oct 12 / Financial Times |
The Yellow Sofa has a sensitive, atmospheric score but the opera fails to spring into life |
| 19 Oct 12 / Telegraph |
At 80 minutes, the piece feels on the long side |
| 17 Oct 12 / The Stage |
Too much of the score slides into adept anonymity |
| 17 Oct 12 / The Guardian |
