POWER OF HER: Cincinnati Opera’s 10th annual Back to the Zoo concert is a tribute to four women who have provided fundamental support to Cincinnati Opera and the Cincinnati Zoo. Anna Sinton Taft and Mary Emery saved the bankrupt Zoo in 1917, and were integral to the creation of Cincinnati Opera in 1920. The Marge and Charles J. Schott Foundation and Bobbie Unnewehr have provided support for the Back to the Zoo concert since its inception in 2010. Learn more about POWER OF HER.
Special thanks to The Marge & Charles J. Schott Foundation for sponsoring ten years of Back to the Zoo.
