Marcella Sembrich, internationally known Polish soprano, first sang with the New York Metropolitan Opera in its initial season in 1883. She retired in 1909 and sang concert tours until 1917. Her teaching studio, built in 1924 is located in Bolton Landing, NY and has been a operating as museum in her honor and to commemorate opera during the summers since 1937 – two years after her death in 1935.
Each summer's schedule at The Sembrich centers around a theme artfully crafted by Sembrich's artistic director, composer Richard Wargo. He joins us now to tell us what is on tap for this season, the theme of which is “On Wings of Song: The Marriage of Music and Poetry.”
