Octavian controversy She was the subject of controversial reviews when she sang the role of Octavian in a production by
Richard Jones of
Der Rosenkavalier at
Glyndebourne in 2014. Critics including Andrew Clark (in the
Financial Times),
Rupert Christiansen (in
The Daily Telegraph), and
Richard Morrison (in
The Times) felt her physique and costume made her an implausible young male lover in this
breeches role opposite
Kate Royal's Marschallin. The reviews were described as "vicious" by Donal Lynch in the
Irish Independent. Several other critics and performers supported Erraught.
