As the star attraction, four water maidens push a water-borne platform on which a trim, silver-skirted ballerina does a lotus dance. The whole thing ends with singers diving off the stage into the river, and with blubbery "eunuchs" being tossed out of boats. The Rhine takes it all with hardly a murmur...
