An opera critic has been corrected by actor and model Rose Knox-Peebles for describing her make-up as “frightful”, with the performer pointing out that she wasn’t actually wearing any.
In his review of Das Rheingold at the Royal Opera House, Richard Fairman wrote: “Erda, the earth goddess, is also on stage the whole evening, played by Rose Knox-Peebles and made up to look quite a fright, though that probably goes with the territory if you have been around since the dawn of time.”
