Alberich expected another Herald, but instead what appeared from a door at the back of the room was a man in a midnight-blue uniform, similar to the Heralds' in cut, but trimmed in silver.
Alberich had chosen the rapier for that reason; the lightest of the "real" swords, it was the easiest to "pull" when a blow actually fell instead of being countered.
Alberich stripped off his sweat-sodden uniform and turned the spigot on the wall, and just as Dethor had said, a "rain" of warm water came down from the perforated plate, draining away through a grate in the floor.

 F. Why didn't Alberich use his ring to escape when he was captured by Wotan and Loge?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Perhaps because, from the moment Alberich's caught, his hands are tied, so he cannot reach the ring, as he seems to need to.
In productions by Scottish Opera and ENO, among others, Alberich was thoroughly trussed up as Wagner intended, with only one hand freed to wield the ring, and Wotan had his spearpoint at Alberich's throat throughout.
Alberich uses it for that purpose in 'Das Rheingold', and that is the reason Wotan wants it so badly.

 H. Why didn't Wagner kill off Alberich?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
But it has become fashionable in many recent performances to speculate that Alberich *is* the only survivor, and that he is plotting to steal the gold yet again...in other words, the stealing of the gold is a sort of 'eternal recurrence' in which events are doomed to repeat themselves throughout eternity.
When we reach the conclusion of 'Götterdämmerung', Alberich arrives on stage just as the gold is returned to the Rhinemaidens, and then he ends up in the exact same spot where he is at the beginning.
In other words, Alberich is the linking element between an infinite series of dramas in which Alberich fights to obtain the gold.

I see Alberich is alive and well, you know evil,the transgressive or "Other" it is required for Wagner's dramturgy at least in the Ring is propelled forward by this as his other operas only different characters as Klingsor,or Amfortas.
Even the refined percussive artistry of Evelyn Glennie really cannot save this monolith for the Cash Box, something Alberich would have loved,although Alberich gave up love to have power, he renounced his lechery in the opening scenes in Das Rheingold, the opening of the RING no fornications with the Rhine Maidens.
The opening 2 movements of "Alberich", referencing the nasty character in Wagner's RING, are positively superb, with an element of unresolved tension building throughout.
