When you visit the Sembrich, you'll be stepping back in time to the turn-of-the-last century and an era known as the “Golden Age of Song” when Marcella Sembrich’s star shone brightly in the world of arts and letters.

The extensive and varied collection of the Sembrich Museum is on view in her former studio where she rehearsed and taught young vocalists. The collection includes fine and decorative arts, as well as personal mementos from a time when a prima donna of the opera stage was regarded as royalty in her day. Silver and gold tribute wreaths and colorful floral banners chronicle Madame Sembrich’s travels from opera house and concert hall to cities and towns ranging from St. Petersburg, Russia to Chattanooga, Tennessee. Facsimile autographs and letters (including a witty exchange with Mark Twain) recount the high esteem in which her colleagues, everyone from Giuseppe Verdi to Thomas Edison, held this “supreme artist.” Historic photographs relate the “rags to riches” story of a child prodigy from rural Poland and the career, which blossomed following her American debut at age twenty five in the newly-opened Metropolitan Opera. A stunning collection of silver loving cups from the likes of Enrico Caruso and Antonio Scotti recall a gala farewell to that career and the countless ovations that echoed through that grand opera house exactly a century ago.
