Rigoletto... in Bluegrass is a 2006 Canadian independent film directed by Rob Swales, based on the 1851 opera Rigoletto by Giuseppe Verdi.
The plot takes the general form of Verdi's opera, but the character of the duke becomes Duke, the leader of a bluegrass band, played by eccentric multi-instrumentalist Washboard Hank.
[1] Most of the music from the original opera is adapted as bluegrass music, although the original "Prelude" and "Introduction" were performed in an orchestral arrangement by the Mandolin Society of Peterborough and recorded at the Peterborough Folk Festival.
[2] Rigoletto... in Bluegrass was awarded Best Originality at the Bluegrass Independent Film Festival in La Grange, Kentucky.
