Victor Ryan Robertson’s musical journey has been unique. The young tenor from Atlanta originally went to college on a tennis scholarship, but subsequently turned in his locker key to pursue a busy livelihood as a rock singer. Fate brought him together with Mary Ann Hill, professor of voice at Georgia State University, who led Robertson to realize that his vocal gift might take him much further than he imagined

Victor Ryan Robertson is an American musical artist distinguished by the compass and color of his tenor voice; he navigates genres comprising classical, contemporary, pop and Broadway to deliver inspiring and thrilling performances on both opera and theatrical stages. Recent successes include the role of Raymond Santana in Anthony Davis’s Central Park Five at Portland Opera, followed by the roles of Elijah and Street X: The Life and Times of Malcolm X at Detroit Opera, Opera Omaha and in concert recorded for commercial release produced by Boston Modern Orchestra Projects, nominated for a 2023 Grammy Award—he soon sings these roles at The Metropolitan Opera of New York.

With a natural ability for contemporary music, Victor inaugurated the role of Benny “Kid” Paret in Terence Blanchard’s celebrated Champion in its world premiere in 2017 at Washington National Opera and later revived the role at Michigan Opera Theatre and at Opera de Montreal. He appeared as Hosea Williams in Douglas Tappin’s I Dream, a piece based upon a series of dreams, reminiscences and premonitions leading up to a fateful moment in modern American history—the assassination of Dr Martin Luther King.

The artist made his professional debut in Baz Luhrmann’s Rent, an adaptation of Puccini’s La Bohème at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles in a record 82 sold-out performances, for which he won the coveted Ovation Award in 2004.
