In advance of the opening of Toledo Opera's production of Tosca, we examine the ups and downs of the 19th century — the time in which the opera takes place. Joining the discussion are three historians: Barry Jackisch from The University of Toledo; Doug Forsyth from Bowling Green State University, and Alice Conklin from Ohio State University. We're also joined by Leah Whitaker, Toledo Opera's Development Officer (and former Seminarian).
