CRITICAL ACCLAIM
"...Victor Ryan Robertson has a beautifully lyric tenor voice, which he used flawlessly..." – Opera News
Falstaff – “Victor Ryan Robertson has a beautifully lyric tenor voice, which he used flawlessly as Fenton. The Act III aria was true Verdian bel canto. His ardent and rapturous duets with Anya Matanovic, his Nannetta were delightful moments of amorous repose in a sea of turmoil.”
__________
"...Robertson’s clear tenor voice gave us a strong operatic experience and his character work was a stand out..." – DC Theatre Scene
Champion – “Robertson’s clear tenor voice gave us a strong operatic experience and his character work was a stand out as the cocky and homophobic Benny Paret.”
__________
"...one waits in eager anticipation between his appearances.” – The Post and Courier
Porgy and Bess – "Victor Ryan Robertson, donning a bright pink suit, plays Sportin’ Life with panache. His flexible tenor voice is so appealing and effective, one waits in eager anticipation between his appearances."
__________
"...stole the show..." – Santa Cruz Sentinel
Il barbiere di Siviglia – "Victor Ryan Robertson as Count Almaviva, however, stole the show. His acting ability was great. He is very much a crossover artist being internationally acknowledged for his operatic roles while being totally comfortable in musical theater."
__________
"...His singing was both controlled and attractive..." – Opera News
Don Giovanni – “Victor Ryan Robertson was an unusually forceful Don Ottavio – this youth seemed quite capable of avenging his fiancee’s wrongs. His singing was both controlled and attractive, making one regret that ‘Dalla sua pace’ had been cut.”
