“Electrifying with total attention to detail”

Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Evan Rogister is one of the most eclectic and versatile conductors on the international scene. A dual citizen of Germany and the United States, Rogister leads performances at some of the world’s most prestigious houses, including the Glyndebourne Festival, The Metropolitan Opera, Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, and Opernhaus Zürich.

This season, Rogister debuts with The Royal Danish Opera for George Benjamin’s acclaimed Written On Skin and returns to the podium at Opernhaus Zürich for Puccini’s Madama Butterfly. Evan also makes his Atlanta Opera debut leading Verdi’s La traviata, and his highly anticipated return to the Glyndebourne Festival with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.

From 2018 to 2025, Rogister served as Principal Conductor of the Washington National Opera. The Washington Post consistently lauded his musical interpretation: “Rogister’s steering of the music’s violent weather had me loosening my tie, and his finely attuned management of its mess of motivic gestures and granular details was superb” (Richard Strauss’s Elektra). 

Equally at home on the concert stage as in the pit, Evan leads orchestras such as the Swedish Radio Symphony, Bergen Philharmonic, l’Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse, Philharmonia Zürich, Royal Stockholm Philharmonic, Gothenburg Symphony, l’Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg, Milwaukee Symphony, Spoleto Festival Orchestra, and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.
