Emma Walton's musical journey began in Cumbria, where she first found her voice in the esteemed Carlisle Cathedral Choir and the Quay Voices Choir at The Sage, Gateshead. She quickly established herself as a soloist, performing with the Royal Northern Sinfonia at just 17 years old.

Between 2006 and 2011, Emma pursued her musical education at the University of Huddersfield, earning a Bachelor of Music degree and a Postgraduate Diploma in Performance under the mentorship of Paul Wade and Rachel Nicholls. In 2015, she graduated with a Distinction MMus in Vocal Performance, studying with Jane Irwin at the Royal Northern College of Music. During her time at university, Emma tackled roles such as Olga in Lehar's "The Merry Widow" and Mother in Humperdinck's "Hansel and Gretel," showcasing her versatility on stage.

With a scholarship in hand, Emma furthered her studies at the prestigious Alexander Gibson Opera School within the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, graduating under the guidance of Helen Lawson. A passion for contemporary works led her to performances such as Julia Grant in Philip Glass' opera 'Appomattox' and The Man in Joshua Goodman's 'The Man and Men' at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Emma continues to expand her repertoire, recently taking on the role of Vinesse in a new workshop by Daniel Janke, and captivating audiences as Character E in the premiere of Anna Semple's 'The Next Station is Green Park'.
