Born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Emily Klassen began performing at a very young age, in every talent show, play and musical she could find.

In this capacity, she has performed with companies across North America and Europe. Emily is also a grant recipient of the Canada Council of the Arts for her work in Baroque Opera. Since moving to Toronto, Emily has also appeared in several notable on-screen productions, including the NBC series Hannibal (2013), where she performed an excerpt of Handel's Piangerò la sorte mia (an aria in his opera 'Julius Caesar in Egypt'), the CBC series Murdoch Mysteries (2008), the CTV series Flashpoint (2008), and the Lifetime Network series Angela's Eyes (2006).
