Ernestine Schumann - Heink [1920]
Bain News Service
1 negative : glass ; 5 x 7 in. or smaller. | Photograph shows German American opera singer Ernestine (Rössler) Schumann-Heink (1861-1936) when she played a concert at Ellis Island in 1920. (Source: Flickr Commons project, 2017 and 2024)

Ellis Island is an island in New York Harbor, within the U.S. states of New Jersey and New York. Owned by the U.S. government, Ellis Island was once the busiest immigrant inspection and processing station in the United States. From 1892 to 1954, nearly 12 million immigrants arriving at the Port of New York and New Jersey were processed there; as many as two-fifths of Americans may be descended from these immigrants. It has been part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument since 1965 and is accessible to the public only by ferry. The north side of the island is a national museum of immigration, while the south side of the island, including the Ellis Island Immigrant Hospital, is open to the public through guided tours.

The image is a black-and-white photograph depicting four individuals walking in a line on a paved path. The setting appears to be outside a building with large windows and a central entrance. The individuals are dressed in formal attire, indicative of the early 20th century. - On the far left, there is a woman wearing a dark coat with a fur collar, a wide-brimmed hat, and dark shoes. She is walking with a slight smile and holding the arm of the person next to her. - Next to her is another woman in a dark dress with a lighter-colored collar and cuffs, and she is also wearing a fur stole draped over her shoulders. She is holding the arm of the woman next to her. - The third individual is a woman in a white dress with a wide-brimmed hat and a small handbag in her right hand. She is walking with a composed demeanor. - On the far right is a man in a dark suit with a striped tie and a white shirt. He is walking with a slight smile and holding a piece of paper in his left hand. The image has a vintage feel, with a slightly faded appearance and a white border around the edges, suggesting it might be a historical photograph. The text "SCHUMANN HENK" is visible in the upper right corner of the image.

Tomorrow evening, I’ll be singing a bit from Aida at the New Year’s reception of the “Lilien,” officially known as SV 98 Darmstadt! The party starts at six, and we’ll be on the big stage about an hour and a half later!

A round sports club logo hovers in the night sky above a modern theater building with a white marble façade. It is the logo of the “Sportverein Darmstadt 1898 e.V.” soccer club, featuring a white fleur-de-lis in the center, and the main entrance of the Staatstheater Darmstadt, as seen from Georg-Büchner-Platz.

Before yesterday’s concert, I made a “Get Ready With Me” video series, and my husband edited it down to a single video lasting just under three minutes! I talk about my concert jewelry and what it means to me, including my custom, handmade resin pieces! (From Amulet of Ashes in the UK. I highly recommend this shop! 💎 amuletofashes.com/)

The image is a black-and-white photograph of a woman, likely from the early 20th century, based on her attire and the style of the photograph. She is wearing an elaborate hat adorned with feathers and a veil with polka dots. The hat is large and structured, covering her head completely, and features a decorative element on the side. Her dress is formal, with intricate details such as decorative buttons and a high collar. She holds a white flower in her right hand, which is partially visible in the frame. The photograph has a caption at the top that reads "MRS. SEMBRICH," and there is a number "2020-9" in the top right corner, possibly indicating a catalog or reference number for the image. The background is plain and slightly blurred, drawing attention to the subject. The overall style of the image suggests it is a portrait taken in a studio setting.

Prakseda Marcelina Kochańska, known professionally as Marcella Sembrich, was a Polish dramatic coloratura soprano. She is known for her extensive range of two and a half octaves, precise intonation, charm, portamento, vocal fluidity, and impressive coloratura. Her voice was regarded as flute-like, sweet, pure, light, and brilliant. She had an important international singing career, chiefly at the New York Metropolitan Opera and the Royal Opera House, in London. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcella
