Emma Robertson is a soprano from Marietta, Georgia, praised for her “outstanding range... and [as] a gifted performer” (OperaWire). She is a full-time chorister with The Metropolitan Opera in New York, the most distinguished opera chorus in the world and the only full time professional opera chorus in America.

Ms. Robertson’s past operatic roles include: Ilia (Idomeneo) with Bronx Opera; Nannetta (Falstaff) with Opera 51; Susanna (Le nozze di Figaro) with Vincéro Vocal Academy; The Bride (Labyrinth, by Gian Carlo Menotti) with the Cambridge Chamber Ensemble; Gianetta (L’Élisir d’amore) with Opera Maine; and Milicia (SVADBA) at the New England Conservatory of Music.

In 2025, Emma won Second Place in the Lowell Chamber Ensemble Concerto Competition and received an encouragement award from the Philharmonic Society of Arlington’s annual concerto competition.

Passionate about innovative recital programming, Emma blends classic art songs by composers such as Schubert, Brahms, and Debussy with other musical genres, including folk, musical theater, and cabaret, while also highlighting works by historically marginalized poets and composers, such as Emily Dickinson and Florence Price. She will make her recital debut with the Nancy Frampton Rising Artists Series in February 2027 with a newly curated recital entitled “The Space Between Us.” In 2023, she won First Place in the Wilkinson Young Singers Scholarship Fund. As a result of this honor, she created and performed a sold-out recital entitled “Girl”, which explored the many facets of womanhood, at the Harvard Musical Association. In 2024, she curated the recital “The Circle Game,” centered on childhood nostalgia, featuring works ranging from Johannes Brahms to Margaret Bonds to Joni Mitchell.

She holds a master’s degree in Vocal Performance from the New England Conservatory. There, she was an active member of the Song Lab and Liederabend series, where she received coachings from Dr. Tanya Blaich and Dr. Cameron Stowe, as well as NEC’s Opera Studio, directed by Joshua Major. Ms. Robertson also graduated from the University of Georgia with a bachelor's degree in Music Performance, where she studied with Dr. Elizabeth Johnson-Knight and coach Katharyn Wright. She has also participated in masterclasses with Thomas Hampson, Julia Bulloch, Linda Watson, and Helene Schneidermann.
