In summer 2026, Rogister returns to the Glyndebourne Festival, conducting The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment in Sir David McVicar’s acclaimed production of Mozart’s Die Entführung aus dem Serail. Evan returns to the MET to lead both the Laffont Grand Finals Concert in the 26/27 season as well as an opera production in a future season. Highlights of the 26/27 season also include concerts with Det Kongelige Kapel in Copenhagen, Verdi’s Rigoletto at Teatr Wielki (Polish National Opera), Debussy’s Pelléas et Mélisande at the Curtis Institute of Music, and Bizet’s Carmen for Opéra National de Bordeaux.

This season, Rogister debuted at London’s Southbank Centre, leading The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment in concert as part of Southbank’s Multitudes Festival, of which The Guardian wrote, “Thanks to the vitality of the playing and the paciness of Evan Rogister’s conducting, it all came together to create an immersive audiovisual experience that felt weightless and enchanting.” Evan returned to Opernhaus Zürich to lead Puccini’s Madama Butterfly and debuted at Det Kongelige Teater in George Benjamin’s Written on Skin—performances of which have been nominated for Opera of the Year.

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.
