Evan Rogister begins 2025 with his Opera Australia debut, conducting Massenet’s magical Cendrillon at the Sydney Opera House. The production opens with a special New Year’s Eve gala performance and continues January 2, 4, 7, 9, 11, 15, 17, 20, 22, 24, and 28. Opera Australia brings Laurent Pelly’s whimsical production to Sydney, previously seen at The Metropolitan Opera, Covent Garden and the Royal Ballet and Opera (previously known as the Royal Opera House).
Rogister leads an exceptional ensemble cast, including mezzo-soprano Emily Edmonds in the title role, Margaret Plummer as Prince Charming, Emma Matthews as the Fairy Godmother, Richard Anderson as Pandolfe, and Angela Hogan as Madame de la Haltière.
