The baton used by the conductor (Mark Ian Holt) in the Faust opera scene with Abraham Lincoln and Mrs. Lincoln was owned by William Kushner (screenwriter Tony Kushner 's father), who was a clarinetist, and for 40 years, the conductor of the Lake Charles (Louisiana) Symphony Orchestra. It is an authentic 19th-century baton, ebony with an ivory handle, that Tony asked to be used to honor his dad, who died in March 2012.
