American tenor Victor Ryan Robertson encompasses a versatile singing ability and style allowing him to cross between genres from classical and contemporary classical repertoire to pop and broadway. He recently received acclaim for a concert with the Richard Tucker Foundation: “Alfredo in the “Traviata” excerpt was tenor Victor Ryan Robertson, who was buoyant here and even better in the “Rigoletto” quartet and especially in “Kleinzach!” from Offenbach's “The Tales of Hoffmann.” His voice is fresh, his personality alive,” said the Cleveland Plain-Dealer.
