Julian Philips’s chamber opera, The Yellow Sofa, is a creaking affair at Glyndebourne |
![]() |
Visually compelling, with strong singing across the board |
![]() |
At 75 minutes, The Yellow Sofa is already a very short opera, but an even shorter one is struggling to get out |
![]() |
The Yellow Sofa has a sensitive, atmospheric score but the opera fails to spring into life |
![]() |
At 80 minutes, the piece feels on the long side |
![]() |
Too much of the score slides into adept anonymity |
