Emilie Wilhelmine Rosing (1783 - 1811), was a Danish singer and stage actress. She was the perhaps most famous woman stage artist in Denmark during the age of Napoleon.
She was active at the Royal Danish TheatreinCopenhagen in 1802-1811, were she was regarded as a personification of the new neo-Classical ideal of the time. Formally employed as a chorist, she made such a great success as an actor that she was given one leading role after another from the beginning of her debute. She was a controversial artist with her androgynus appearance, and often played boy's Breeches parts. Her intelligence and original way of interpreting the often shallow roles she was given, was highly debated. She remined a chorist in name, which was frustrating for her, and in 1811, she suffered a complete breakdown. The cause of death are given as cramps.
Emilie Rosing was the daughter of the well known acting couple Michael and Johanne Rosing.
