Operatic Afternoon

The week hit a high-note Monday afternoon as Raeanne and Sean headed up to the Marcella Sembrich Opera Museum for a tour and a TestBounce™ with the Board. Five acres of take-your-breath-away lakefront and a waterfront villa that's on the National Register of Historic Places. Sembrich was the definition of fame and talent in her day, and her former studio, off Lakeshore Drive in Bolton—home to the Museum's collection—is appropriately opulent. Her Steinway is surrounded by beautifully framed production shots, and hand-written notes from the likes of Brahms and Rachmaninoff. Even with all that history, music and culture surrounding us, nothing has quite the stopping power of Lake George on a perfect August afternoon.

Our welcome.

Hydrangea Bay.

Raeanne gets a ruff greeting.

The Steinway.

The Madame herself.

*Sigh*

A TestBounce can help get your ducks in a row.
