Émile Scaremberg (26 April 1863 – 26 February 1938) was a French tenor.
Biography[edit]
Scaremberg (sometime spelled Scaramberg) was born in Besançon in Franche-Comté.[1] After studying in Paris, he took singing lessons in the Comtoise capital with a tenor known as Perrin and continued his studies with Charles Nicot (1843–1899).[1] Scaremberg made his début at the Théâtre national de l'Opéra-Comique in April 1893 in Grétry's "Richard Coeur-de-Lion" and stayed with the company for two years.[1] He also began to appear in opera houses in the cities of Bordeaux, Lyon (where he sang Werther), Marseille, Nantes, Nice and Vichy and, in 1894, he sang Turiddu in Monte-Carlo.[1] He is included in one of the greatest compilation of classical singing, The EMI Record of Singing. Scaremberg also performed in 1897 à the hotel of Besançon-les-Bains, in Roméo et Juliette, la Favorite as well as in Lakmé.[2] He participated in many performances, as in London and Belgium, before sudden vocal difficulties forced him to return to Besançon to teach singing.[1]
He died 26 February 1938 in his hometown[1] and was buried in the cimetière des Chaprais.
