Das Rheingold was worse than I could possibly have even imagined. I am going to credit Larry with the "Eurotrash" label in my review, but this I think deserves some sort of toxic superfund cleanup monies. When the review goes live, I'll post a link, but suffice it to say for now that Alberich's "dwarfism" is handled by him attaching Dorf-like red boots to his knees, whereupon he hobbles around the stage with his little red feet flopping in front of him. No, I'm not joking. And that's actually one of the less ridiculous moments.
