''Rigoletto... in Bluegrass'' is a 2006 Canadian independent film directed by Rob Swales, based on the 1851 opera ''Rigoletto'' by Giuseppe Verdi. Filming took place in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, in 2005 and the film was first screened in 2006. 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.〔("Washboard Hank to give two local performances", ''SouthShoreNow.ca'' )〕 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.〔 "PFF presents the 18th annual Peterborough Folk Festival" (festival program), August 2005 〕 ''Rigoletto... in Bluegrass'' was awarded Best Originality at the Bluegrass Independent Film Festival in La Grange, Kentucky.〔(Bluegrass Independent Film Festival ), ''Roundabout Entertainment'', October 2006〕〔Rellinger, Paul,("Local filmmaker awarded at U.S. festival" ), ''myKawartha.com'', 17 October 2006〕 *Director: Rob Swales *Musical director: David E.
