“Evan Rogister’s conducting was exemplary. Rogister, a former longtime music director with the Washington National Opera, led a vigorous and detailed performance, favoring bold, brisk tempos and sharp, dramatic contrasts. With a keen sense of drama, Rogister at times brought the orchestra down to a whisper and, at others, pulled out all the stops for some dynamic episodes that filled the Cobb Centre with glorious sound.”

“The Atlanta Opera Orchestra, under Rogister’s direction, delivered a performance of both elegance and dynamism, shaping Verdi’s sweeping arias, ensembles, and orchestral interludes with clarity while never overshadowing the singers.”
