We round out our trilogy of Tosca-themed podcasts with a discussion on how Puccini's opera was received, and how it affected the genre as a whole. Using musicologist and critic Joseph Kerman's characterization of Tosca as a "Shabby Little Shocker" as a starting point, we focus on the music of Tosca and put it into historical context. Joining us are Dr. Eftychia "Effie" Papanikolaou, a musicologist and professor at Bowling Green State University; Dr. Douglas Forsyth, a historian also on faculty at BGSU, and musicologist (and Puccini expert) Dr. Jane Sylvester, from the University of Missouri-Kansas City Conservatory.
