Christopher Robson (/ˈrɔːbsən/; born 1953[1]) is a Scottish countertenor.[2]

Robson studied trumpet alongside voice early in his career.[3] As a singer, he debuted in the English National Opera production of L'Orfeo in 1981.[1][2] In 1984, Robson performed the role of the titular pharaoh in the US premiere of the Philip Glass opera Akhnaten with the Houston Grand Opera in 1984.[4] In contrast to Paul Esswood's portrayal at the world premiere in Stuttgart, Robson appeared on stage in Houston in a convincingly nude bodystocking that speculated on androgynous ancient depictions of the pharaoh.[5] Robson performed the role with the New York City Opera in the same year,[6] and performed the role again the following year in the opera's British premiere with the English National Opera.[7] In 1995, Robson performed the role of Arsamane in the Lyric Opera of Chicago's first production of Händel's Serse,[3] and performed the role again in 1997 in Munich under the direction of Ivor Bolton.[8]

Robson served on the jury for the ARD International Music Competition in 2024.[9]
