We saw this via a movie theater link-up in Las Vegas recently (Regal Village Square Cinemas). I really enjoyed it. The setting was Las Vegas in 1960 with the Duke roughly based on Sinatra as leader of the Rat-Pack and Rigoletto roughly based on Don Rickles. The opera was sung with its correct wordings, but the transcriptions were based on modern idiom (nice touch). The intermission breaks coincided with the Met performance, but there were interviews with the singers, producer and director during this time. If it is rebroadcast, it is well worth the $18 tab.
