About Harry

Kapellmeister: Deutsche Oper am Rhein

British conductor Harry Ogg continues to establish himself on both the operatic and symphonic stages. The 2024/25 season sees Harry debut with Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, Concerto Köln and Staatsorchester Darmstadt. He maintains a close relationship with Hamburger Symphoniker returning for a concert in the Laeiszhalle.

Kapellmeister of Deutsche Oper am Rhein, Harry’s third season includes a new production of Rusalka and revivals of Der Fliegende Holländer and Don Giovanni. Over the past two seasons he has conducted a wide range of repertoire including Die Tote Stadt, Madama Butterfly, La Traviata, La Cenerentola, Tosca, Hänsel und Gretel and Die Zauberflöte, among others.

Last season Harry made several significant debuts, including in the Concertgebouw stepping in at the last minute for Ivor Bolton to conduct Gürzenich Orchester Köln. He made further debuts with Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg, Bruckner Orchester Linz and George Enescu Philharmonic and returned to Düsseldorfer Symphoniker to conduct their Silversterkonzert in the Tonhalle. Harry opened the season with his Oper Köln debut leading the world premiere production of Frank Pesci’s The Strangers, and later stepped in for two performances of Hänsel und Gretel.

  • Bruckner Orchestra Linz

    Linz, Austria
    Apr 2024
    • Harry Ogg and the Bruckner Orchestra also played their part here, carrying their very young colleague with more than just a hand and accompanying her with absolute attentiveness and a finely balanced sound. These qualities were also evident in the Enigma Variations, which were interpreted in an exceptionally appealing and multi-layered manner. Harry Ogg avoided clichéd interpretative traditions and followed the score very closely in his reading, presenting Elgar as a subtle sound magician. [TRANSLATION]

    • Great guest conductor! It was easy to sympathise with the guest conductor Ogg. With his unobtrusive, yet temperamental character, he quickly warmed to our orchestra. The dramatic flourishes of an accomplished opera conductor could not be ignored, but his emotional relationship to English music, with its often hidden expressive depth, was also convincing.
